Landlord and trade work in Longhirst
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
How we handle worktop repair in Longhirst
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for chips near the sink and a chipped quartz edge, across laminate, quartz and granite & marble.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Longhirst
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Longhirst. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Longhirst
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Do you come to Longhirst?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Longhirst for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Re-oil timber worktops
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What we’re called out for in Longhirst
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chips near the sink
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Repair or replace: which is better?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Longhirst. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
