How we handle worktop repair in Burlescombe

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about a heat mark or burn and chips on edges and corners.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Burlescombe

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Burlescombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Burlescombe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Burlescombe

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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 on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burlescombe

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

When to call us in Burlescombe

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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