Repairing versus replacing in Cotham

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our full price list.

What affects the price in Cotham

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cotham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Questions from Cotham

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?

The entire UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Cotham

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A chipped edge
  • Gouges in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
