Britannia: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do you work in Britannia?
We do. We send a technician to Britannia for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Where we work around Britannia
Britannia is about 1 mile south-east of Bacup, in Lancashire. Anywhere in OL13, we come to you. We work in all 482 towns and villages across Lancashire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Manchester, about 15 miles away.
Jobs in OL13 and OL12 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. From Old Lane, Edge Lane and Tong Lane or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. We also travel to Shawforth (1 mile south-east), Bacup (1 mile north-west), Whitworth (2 miles south), Walsden (3 miles east) and Broadley Fold (3 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Burnley (8 miles north), Accrington (9 miles north-west), Nelson (10 miles north), Rawtenstall (5 miles west), Colne (12 miles north) and Clitheroe (15 miles north-west).
Local landmarks in Britannia
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Britannia Community Primary School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Walsden station, about 2.9 miles east of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Dobroyd Castle (3.1 miles north-east) and Birch Hill Hospital (4.1 miles south-east). Not far away are Hail Storm Hill.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

See our full price list.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills right away
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Britannia

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Britannia and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
