Questions from Goodleigh
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Goodleigh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Goodleigh
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Goodleigh. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Re-oil timber worktops
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
