A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new kitchen and scorch marks from pans, we can typically put it right.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Wood

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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

What we work on

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

Hindley: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you come to Hindley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hindley and the rest of Wigan. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hindley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hindley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
