Repair, don't replace

Wooden kitchen worktops are one of the most beautiful features of any home, but years of daily use can leave them looking tired, scratched and worn. Water damage around sinks, black stains, heat marks and faded finishes are common problems that can make even premium hardwood worktops look past their best.

At The Worktop Restoration Company, we specialise in restoring hardwood kitchen worktops to their former glory. Using professional dust-controlled sanding equipment and premium finishing oils, we remove surface damage, revive the natural grain and protect your worktops for years to come.

In most cases, restoration costs a fraction of replacing your worktops and delivers stunning results without the disruption of a kitchen renovation.

FAQs

How much does worktop restoration cost?
The cost of wooden worktop restoration depends on the size, condition and type of timber but prices typically start from £165 for a typical kitchen island or hardwood table and from £375 for a full kitchen. Most projects are significantly more affordable than replacing your worktops, with restoration often costing a fraction of the price of new hardwood worktops. All of our quotes include all materials and consumables, travel times and finishes. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
Yes, in most cases. Black marks around sinks are usually caused by moisture reacting with the natural tannins found in hardwoods such as oak. We use professional tannin-removing treatments to break down these stains before sanding and refinishing the surface. While most stains can be dramatically improved or completely removed, results will depend on the depth and severity of the damage.
Whilst some dust is inevitable, we use professional dust-controlled sanding equipment connected to an M-Class dust extractor, which captures the vast majority of airborne dust during the sanding process. This allows us to work cleanly and efficiently while keeping disruption to your home to a minimum.
We finish all restored worktops using premium Osmo Worktop Oil and Wax. This high-quality finish enhances the natural beauty of the timber while providing long-lasting protection against everyday kitchen use. It creates a durable, food-safe finish that is easy to maintain and refresh over time.
We regularly restore oak, walnut, iroko, beech, maple and other hardwood kitchen worktops. Whether your worktops have become scratched, stained, faded or water damaged, we can assess their condition and recommend the most suitable restoration process.
Most kitchen worktop restoration projects can be completed within a single day, depending on the size of the kitchen and the level of damage. Larger kitchens, extensive repairs or additional drying time between treatments may occasionally require longer.
We use professional-grade sanding equipment alongside premium abrasive sanding pads designed specifically for hardwood restoration. Using high-quality abrasives helps us achieve a smoother finish, remove defects more effectively and produce a superior final result compared to standard sanding materials.
In almost all cases, restoration is the most cost-effective option. Solid hardwood worktops are designed to last for decades and can often be restored multiple times throughout their lifespan. Professional sanding, stain removal and refinishing can completely transform tired worktops, restoring their natural beauty while avoiding the cost and disruption of replacement.
