Braithwaite: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Repairing versus replacing in Braithwaite

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- 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.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Dry around the sink and joints
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Braithwaite
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Braithwaite. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Braithwaite, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
