DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle worktop repair in West Gorton
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you’re dealing with damage from fitting or building work and gouges in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in West Gorton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Signs you need worktop repair in West Gorton
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Knife marks
- Chips on edges and corners
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Damage from fitting or building work
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

FAQs for West Gorton
Is it safe with children and pets around?

Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
