Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Dents and gouges

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

FAQs for Bernards Heath

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Bernards Heath?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bernards Heath. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Wood

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bernards Heath

  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Bernards Heath

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.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
