FAQs for Old Forge
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What else we do in Old Forge
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace in Old Forge?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a chopping board
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Old Forge
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
