Worktop repair at your home in Milnrow

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We work on granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage around the sink cut-out.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Milnrow. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Your questions about worktop repair in Milnrow

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover Milnrow?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Milnrow and the rest of Rochdale. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
