FAQs for Langford

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you cover Langford?

We do. We send a technician to Langford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.
