Repairing versus replacing in Cotes

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.
