How we handle worktop repair in Bara
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are damage from fitting or building work and burns from hot pans.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit

Bara: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Bara?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour mixed on the day to match
