How we handle worktop repair in New Manchester
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for chipped corners and scorch marks from pans, across solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Salford.

New Manchester: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Salford and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for New Manchester. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
