Your questions about worktop repair in Trentham

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do you cover the entire of Stoke-on-Trent?

We cover the entire UK, including Trentham and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Worktop repair in Trentham without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Common call-outs are for cuts and scratches in the surface and a dent from a dropped pan, on quartz, granite & marble and laminate.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

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

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board

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, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

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

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Trentham

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A heat mark or burn

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
