How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Mowden questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A photo lets us check.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

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

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Mowden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Mowden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Mowden customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
