Worktop repair in Stow Longa without replacing anything

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our technicians work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are cuts and scratches in the surface and gouges in the surface.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills right away
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Repair or replace in Stow Longa?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Everywhere in the UK, Stow Longa included. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
