Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

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.

Coldingham: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Common problems we fix in Coldingham
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chipped corners
- Chips caused during installation
- A dent from a dropped pan

Repairing versus replacing in Coldingham
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
