Worktop repair in Longshaw, done in place
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new kitchen and gouges in the surface, we can typically put it right, on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Longshaw questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you cover Longshaw?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Longshaw for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of Wigan?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
