Worktop repair at your home in Longridge

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips in quartz or granite, across granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common problems we fix in Longridge

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks frequently begin.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Gouges in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Longridge

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
