Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scholes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Scholes

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
