Dunsden Green: your questions answered
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunsden Green. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Never put hot pans down directly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunsden Green
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
