About our worktop repair in Lees
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We are often asked to fix damage from fitting or building work and damage to a stone worktop, in quartz, granite & marble and solid wood.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
What we are called out for in Lees
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips caused during installation
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Chipped corners
- Gouges in the surface
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
What affects the price in Lees
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lees. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
If you are in Lees and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
FAQs for Lees
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Usually. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Do you work in Lees?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lees from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover the whole of Oldham?
Everywhere in the UK, Lees included. Travel is included in the price.
Repair or replace in Lees?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
