- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Clean spills straight away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
FAQs for Tintwistle
Do you cover Tintwistle?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tintwistle for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
