What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Far Thorpe Green questions

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What affects the price in Far Thorpe Green

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need worktop repair in Far Thorpe Green

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips near the sink
  • Dents and gouges
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
