- Cuts and scratches in the surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Longhoughton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Longhoughton
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Longhoughton
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
