Eldon Lane: your questions answered
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Eldon Lane?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DL14 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Common problems we fix in Eldon Lane
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

- A dent from a dropped pan
- A chipped quartz edge

What we can’t put right

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
