How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Longformacus: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Longformacus?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Longformacus for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
