Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowburn
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowburn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Use chopping boards and trivets, 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.

What else we do in Bowburn
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
