Worktop repair at your home in Longtown
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you’re dealing with burns from hot pans and chips near the sink, we can help, on laminate, quartz and solid wood alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Questions from Longtown
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Longtown?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Longtown is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Longtown
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Longtown. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep wood oiled
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
