Worktop repair in Burnhope, 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. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are a heat mark or burn and knife marks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep wood oiled
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Wipe up spills quickly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
