Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Worktop repair in Longton without replacing anything

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. Common call-outs are for a chipped quartz edge and chips caused during installation, across solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

10 questions to ask before booking

Longton: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
