Worktop repair at your home in Longstowe

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. Whether it’s cuts and scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can usually put it right, on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Longstowe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Longstowe

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Are there extra charges for Longstowe?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Longstowe

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longstowe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we are called out for in Longstowe

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Knife marks

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
