How we handle worktop repair in Reach

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are damage from fitting or building work and burns from hot pans.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Common problems we fix in Reach

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped quartz edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing.

Landlord and trade work in Reach

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reach as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Reach

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically. A photo lets us check.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Are there extra charges for Reach?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
