Repairing versus replacing in Longnor
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we handle worktop repair in Longnor
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new kitchen and a chipped quartz edge, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Longnor
Longnor questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Longnor

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Longnor. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
