About our worktop repair in Manchester
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new kitchen and scratches and knife marks, across laminate, granite & marble and solid wood.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Your questions about worktop repair in Manchester
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
