Worktop repair in Cooling

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cooling, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Worktop repair in Cooling, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you are dealing with knife marks and chips on edges and corners, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cooling

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Cooling

Is it messy?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Repair or replace in Cooling?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Cooling customers choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
