Worktop repair near Coleford

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle worktop repair in Coleford

We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you are dealing with scratches and knife marks and gouges in the surface, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Do you need worktop repair in Coleford?

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped edge

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Common questions in Coleford

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

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 there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX17 postcode.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Coleford

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
