About our worktop repair in Scholes
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are often asked to fix scratches and knife marks and burns from hot pans, in granite & marble, solid wood and laminate.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Common questions in 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.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover Scholes?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Scholes and the rest of Wigan. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 normally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Wipe up spills quickly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repairing versus replacing in Scholes
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
