FAQs for Mickle Trafford
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically. A photo lets us check.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Mickle Trafford. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
