Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Powburn: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Powburn?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NE66 postcode.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole worktop

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Powburn

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
