Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills right away
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Worktop repair in Greengates, done in place

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are a chipped quartz edge and gouges in the surface.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Questions from Greengates

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you cover the whole of Bradford?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BD10 postcode.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greengates as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Greengates

Most chips are on edges and corners, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
