Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Openshaw?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the entire of Greater Manchester?
The entire UK, including all of Greater Manchester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater Manchester.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater Manchester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Openshaw. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
How it works
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 morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
