What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Colthrop

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Wood

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

Colthrop: your questions answered

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Colthrop

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scratches and knife marks

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
