Worktop repair in Longhope without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on solid wood, quartz and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges in the surface and damage to a stone worktop.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Longhope as everywhere else we work.

- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Repair or replace in Longhope?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts 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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Longhope
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
