Colgate questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Colgate?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
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. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Colgate?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH13 postcode.
Worktop repair in Colgate without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about damage from fitting or building work and gouges in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep joints and edges dry
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Colgate. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
