About our worktop repair in West Burton

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for gouges in the surface and burns from hot pans, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West Burton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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 frequently lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
