What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

FAQs for Cotford

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Cotford included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How much does worktop repair cost in Cotford?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EX10 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

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

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

What affects the price in Cotford

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Cotford

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cotford

For anyone letting property in or around Cotford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
