Common problems we fix in Chequerbent
Most worktop damage takes a second: 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:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips near the sink
- A dent from a dropped pan
What to look for in a quote

- Who turns up on the day
- How to look after the finish
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Chequerbent

- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Chequerbent questions
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A photo lets us check.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work in Chequerbent?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Chequerbent and the rest of Bolton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
