Common questions in Burnbank

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you come to Burnbank?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Burnbank from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How much does worktop repair cost in Burnbank?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ML3 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Burnbank

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burnbank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Burnbank customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When to call us in Burnbank

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

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips near the sink

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Burnbank, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

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

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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