What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Choosing a repair company

Coatham: your questions answered

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
