Boldron questions

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. A photo lets us check.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills right away
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need worktop repair in Boldron

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for these signs:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped quartz edge

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
