About our worktop repair in Waterhead
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for a damaged sink edge and chips in quartz or granite, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham.

Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
What affects the price in Waterhead
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What else we do in Waterhead
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills straight away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about worktop repair in Waterhead
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
