About our worktop repair in Long Melford
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for chipped corners and a dent from a dropped pan, across granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Long Melford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Repairing versus replacing in Long Melford
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Long Melford: your questions answered
How much does worktop repair cost in Long Melford?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CO10 postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
