Worktop repair at your home in Longcause

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are a heat mark or burn and a damaged sink edge.

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

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills immediately

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. 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 us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page.

How it works

When we visit, 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 few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Longcause

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Longcause included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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