Worktop repair at your home in Moses Gate

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and people most often call us about a chipped edge and damage around the sink cut-out.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our pricing.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Moses Gate

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moses Gate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Moses Gate

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How do I book?

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

Do you work in Moses Gate?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Moses Gate and the rest of Bolton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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