Questions from Buckland Down
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Buckland Down?
We do. We send a technician to Buckland Down for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
