Book worktop repair in Cotleigh

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Worktop repair in Cotleigh, done in place

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and scratches and knife marks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Cotleigh questions

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Wood

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

Solid surface

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

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cotleigh. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cotleigh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Cotleigh

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
