Delph questions

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally. A photo lets us check.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

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

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Delph

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OL3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Delph

  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
