When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

What we work on

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

Leigh: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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.

Why Leigh clients choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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