Worktop repair in Longsight

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

About our worktop repair in Longsight

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are a chipped edge and chips near the sink.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Longsight

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your worktop is made of matters

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?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our full price list.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Longsight. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Longsight, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
