About our worktop repair in Colaton Raleigh
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with a damaged sink edge and a chipped edge, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
FAQs for Colaton Raleigh
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
