Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Hartforth
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you work in Hartforth?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hartforth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Hartforth?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use a chopping board
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
