All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Sciennes: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What else we do in Sciennes
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sciennes. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
