Worktop repair in Cothill

Landlord and trade work in Cothill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Worktop repair at your home in Cothill

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. We are often asked to fix a chipped quartz edge and a dent from a dropped pan, across granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

When to call us in Cothill

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scratches and knife marks

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common questions in Cothill

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Cothill.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
