Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Langley Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Langley Common get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Langley Common

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Langley Common, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Langley Common

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

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
