Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Worktop repair at your home in Pear Tree

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with scorch marks from pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derby and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How do I book?

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What affects the price in Pear Tree

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire worktop

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

Repairing versus replacing in Pear Tree

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common problems we fix in Pear Tree

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips on edges and corners
