The Barony: your questions answered
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Repair or replace in The Barony?

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Barony as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around The Barony, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
