What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Burneside. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Burneside: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
Everywhere in the UK, Burneside included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
