About our worktop repair in Bowscar

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and chips on edges and corners, in solid wood, quartz and laminate.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Bowscar: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

Materials we work on in Bowscar

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled

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.
