A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about chips on edges and corners and knife marks.

FAQs for Old Trafford

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Old Trafford and the rest of Greater Manchester. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Old Trafford get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Old Trafford?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater Manchester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
