Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Can you price it without visiting?

What areas do you cover?

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

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
