What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Colesbrook: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Colesbrook?
We do. We send a technician to Colesbrook for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Colesbrook
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Colesbrook. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we are called out for in Colesbrook
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A damaged sink edge
- Gouges in the surface
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
Why repair rather than replace?
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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
