Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

When to call us in Coronation

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Look out for these signs:

  • Knife marks
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Gouges in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our pricing.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Coronation, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Coronation

How much does worktop repair cost in Coronation?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coronation

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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