Worktop repair in Coldharbour, done in place

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s a chipped edge and a damaged sink edge, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Coldharbour. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Coldharbour: your questions answered

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Granite and stone

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

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