Professional Burnt Worktop Repair Services in Brisbane & Gold Coast
Accidentally placed a hot pan on your benchtop? A burn mark can feel like a permanent disaster, but it doesn't have to mean an expensive replacement. At Magicman, we specialize in restoring heat-damaged worktops to their original condition using advanced color-matching and resurfacing techniques.
We have successfully repaired hundreds of scorched laminate and stone benchtops across Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast, saving homeowners thousands of dollars.
Why Repair Your Burnt Worktop?
A burn mark is often localized to a small area, making a full benchtop replacement unnecessary and wasteful.
- Massive Savings: Repairs cost $300-$600, while replacement often starts at $3,000+.
- No Demolition: We work in-situ. No need to remove sinks, stovetops, or tiling.
- Quick Restoration: Most burn repairs are completed in 3-4 hours.
- Eco-Friendly: Keeping your existing benchtop out of the landfill.
Types of Heat Damage We Repair
Heat affects different materials in different ways. We have the expertise to fix them all:
Laminate (Formica/Laminex) Burns
- Scorch marks and brown rings from hot pans.
- Bubbling where the laminate has delaminated from the core.
- Cracking or melting of the surface material.
- Discoloration from localized heat exposure.
Stone & Engineered Stone Heat Damage
- Thermal shock cracks caused by sudden temperature changes.
- Whitening or "blooming" on engineered stone (Caesarstone, etc.).
- Scorched resin in composite stone surfaces.
- Discoloration of the natural minerals in granite or marble.
Our Specialist Repair Process
Repairing a burn requires a different approach than a simple chip. Here is how we do it:
- Damage Assessment (15 minutes)
We determine the depth of the burn. For laminate, we check if the wood core is damaged. For stone, we check for structural cracks.
- Removal of Damaged Material (30-45 minutes)
We carefully sand or dremel away the scorched material until we reach healthy, unaffected surface.
- Core Restoration (if needed)
For deep laminate burns, we stabilize and rebuild the internal core to provide a flat, solid base for the repair.
- Custom Color Matching (30 minutes)
We mix specialized pigments and resins to match the exact pattern and color of your worktop. This includes recreating "granite" flecks or "wood" grains.
- Surface Reconstruction (60-90 minutes)
The color-matched compound is applied in layers, recreating the surface texture and leveling it perfectly with the surrounding area.
- Protective Finishing (30 minutes)
We apply a heat-resistant, durable topcoat that matches the original sheen (Matte, Satin, or Gloss).
Total time: 3-5 hours | Ready for use: 24 hours

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix a burn on a patterned laminate? Yes. We are experts at "hand-painting" and layering pigments to recreate complex patterns, stone effects, and wood grains.
Will the repair be as heat resistant as the original? While our repairs are durable and heat-resistant, we always recommend using a heat mat or trivet after any repair to prevent future damage.
What if the laminate has bubbled? We can still fix it! We remove the bubbled section, stabilize the base, and rebuild the surface from scratch.
