Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our worktop repair in Old Tame
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for burns from hot pans and chips on edges and corners, in quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Old Tame and across Oldham.

Common questions in Old Tame
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Tame
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
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 quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When we would advise against a repair

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
