Worktop repair at your home in Long Marton

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and scorch marks from pans.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 often lifts.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Marton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Long Marton customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Questions from Long Marton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Long Marton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA16 postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are there extra charges for Long Marton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Long Marton

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
