Worktop repair at your home in Longburton
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for gouges in the surface and a chipped quartz edge, across quartz, solid wood and granite & marble.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take 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.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Questions from Longburton
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Longburton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
