Worktop repair at your home in Cooling Street
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are chips near the sink and damage from fitting or building work.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cooling Street. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What we are called out for in Cooling Street
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Look out for these signs:
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips caused during installation
- Chipped corners
- Dents and gouges
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
Questions from Cooling Street
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Cooling Street included. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
