About our worktop repair in Burnden

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about a heat mark or burn and chipped corners.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Burnden: your questions answered

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
