DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Worktop repair in Orrell, done in place
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with a damaged sink edge and scorch marks from pans, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep wood oiled
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. 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 else we do in Orrell
Repairing versus replacing in Orrell
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Orrell questions
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you come to Orrell?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Orrell and the rest of Wigan. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Orrell. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
