Worktop repair at your home in Tankerness

Your questions about worktop repair in Tankerness
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Tankerness?
We do. We send a technician to Tankerness for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Wipe up spills quickly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tankerness. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Tankerness get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
