Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Use a chopping board

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.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Worktop repair in Woolfold without replacing anything

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for gouges in the surface and a heat mark or burn, across solid wood, laminate and granite & marble.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Woolfold: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work in Woolfold?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Woolfold and the rest of Bolton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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

Materials we work on in Woolfold

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

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
