How we handle worktop repair in Bicknor

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for gouges in the surface and chips on edges and corners, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need worktop repair in Bicknor?

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Gouges in the surface

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Questions from Bicknor

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically. A photo lets us check.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Bicknor is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
