Worktop repair in Longlands, done in place
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are cuts and scratches in the surface and damage to a stone worktop.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep wood oiled
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are there extra charges for Longlands?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
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 you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
