When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
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 won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Longworth
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
