Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Repairing versus replacing in Berners Roding

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Berners Roding. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Berners Roding: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Berners Roding. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you cover Berners Roding?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Berners Roding for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. A picture lets us check.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
