The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

About our worktop repair in Heathton

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. If you are dealing with knife marks and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Heathton. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Heathton

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chipped corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Heathton questions

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

We work UK-wide, so Heathton is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work in Heathton?

We do. We send a technician to Heathton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

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

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
