Parkhead: your questions answered
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not let water sit on joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
