Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about worktop repair in Cold Norton

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you cover Cold Norton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cold Norton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cold Norton. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Cold Norton

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
