How we handle worktop repair in Pickhurst
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. If you’re dealing with burns from hot pans and gouges in the surface, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a chopping board
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
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 on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Wood

Common questions in Pickhurst
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Pickhurst.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole worktop

For a price in Pickhurst, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
