Trusted worktop repair in Burnaston

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Worktop repair in Burnaston, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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. If you’re dealing with chips in quartz or granite and burns from hot pans, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Questions from Burnaston

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Burnaston. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Burnaston, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

If you manage property in Burnaston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
