How we handle worktop repair in Coates

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with damage from fitting or building work and burns from hot pans, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Coates. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Coates get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coates as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Coates

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Usually. A photo lets us check.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
