Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble

Your questions about worktop repair in Lea by Backford
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the entire of Cheshire West and Chester?
All of Cheshire West and Chester, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Landlord and trade work in Lea by Backford
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
