Pan burn on oak-effect laminate repaired in Salford

The damage

A customer in Weaste, Salford, got in touch about a burn on her oak-effect laminate kitchen worktop. A hot pan had left a ring roughly 20cm across. Rather than one solid scorch mark, it was a set of thin burnt arcs with a few dark spots. She sent me a close-up photo first, then a few more with something in shot for scale, which helped me see exactly what I was dealing with.

How I repaired it

I came out on a Thursday morning in November and repaired the burn ring on site. With a burn on a wood-effect laminate, the aim is to deal with the damaged area and bring it back in line with the oak-effect pattern around it, so the eye isn't drawn to it. You can read more about how I approach these on my laminate worktop repairs page.

The result

The burn ring is repaired, and she was kind enough to leave a Google review and add photos to my Business Profile afterwards. My workmanship is covered by a 12-month guarantee. Salford is part of the area I cover for worktop repairs in Manchester.

A quick care tip: always put hot pans on a trivet or pan stand, never straight onto laminate. Go easy on the repaired area too, so no scouring pads and no scraping. My after-care guide has a few more recommendations.
