About our worktop repair in Leadgate
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We regularly repair laminate, quartz and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and knife marks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Leadgate
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you come to Leadgate?
We do. We send a technician to Leadgate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use a chopping board
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
