About our worktop repair in Haverthwaite

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and a dent from a dropped pan.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need worktop repair in Haverthwaite

Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

FAQs for Haverthwaite

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cumbria.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair
