Worktop repair in Coates without replacing anything

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and chips caused during installation, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Coates

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Coates. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Use a chopping board
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for Coates

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Coates

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • A chipped edge
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips near the sink

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
