How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Longdowns. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Longdowns

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Longdowns questions

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR10 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

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’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
