Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Worktop repair in Bacton, done in place

We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are a heat mark or burn and a dent from a dropped pan.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, 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.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Bacton

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Bacton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you cover Bacton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bacton and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bacton

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bacton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Bacton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
