What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use a chopping board
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longford
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Longford: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Longford?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
