Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Cofton

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need worktop repair in Cofton?

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Most clients in Cofton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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