Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually. A picture lets us check.
Worktop repair at your home in Oakenshaw
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for a heat mark or burn and damage around the sink cut-out, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Oakenshaw. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Oakenshaw
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
