What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace in Wicken Bonhunt?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Wicken Bonhunt clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Wicken Bonhunt: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Signs you need worktop repair in Wicken Bonhunt

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips near the sink
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
