Worktop repair for Longhorsley homes

How we handle worktop repair in Longhorsley

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and dents and gouges.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Longhorsley as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Longhorsley

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
