Worktop repair in Copthorne

Worktop repair in Copthorne, done in place

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are a chipped edge and damage around the sink cut-out.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Questions from Copthorne

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything

See our full price list.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Copthorne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
