Worktop repair near Tunstall

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Worktop repair in Tunstall, done in place

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s chips in quartz or granite and chips caused during installation, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tunstall and across Lancashire.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire worktop

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tunstall

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
