Questions from Timber Bush

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Are there extra charges for Timber Bush?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Timber Bush, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Get a quote

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
