Worktop repair for Burrells homes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we handle worktop repair in Burrells

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with scorch marks from pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can typically put it right, on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Burrells

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do you work in Burrells?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Burrells from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Burrells, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Dents and gouges
  • Burns from hot pans

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
