How worktop repair works in Bedford Borough

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Typical jobs include burns from hot pans and cuts and scratches in the surface, in quartz, laminate and solid wood.

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

What you’ll pay

Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landmarks near Bedford

We visit homes around Bedford Park, Castle Newnham School and George and Dragon pub and the streets around them. Also close by are St Peter's Church (less than half a mile south-west), Pilgrims Pre-Preparatory School (0.6 miles north) and Bedford High School for Girls (0.6 miles west). For rail, the closest station is Bedford station, about 0.9 miles south-west of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around John Bunyan Museum and Library (under half a mile south-west) and Risinghoe Castle (2.2 miles east). Not far away are Cople Pits.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

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

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
