About our worktop repair in New Gate

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. If you are dealing with a heat mark or burn and a chipped quartz edge, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in New Gate and across Lancashire.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in New Gate

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in New Gate?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for New Gate

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Do you need worktop repair in New Gate?

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Common reasons people in New Gate contact us include:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage to a stone worktop
