  • A chipped edge

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Knife marks

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Nelson

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Nelson

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BB9 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lancashire.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
