Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Neot. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for St Neot. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in St Neot and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

Common questions in St Neot

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’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.

What we’re called out for in St Neot

Edges and corners chip most often, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chipped corners
  • Burns from hot pans

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
