Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Worktop repair in Cotmanhay, done in place

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. We’re often asked to fix a heat mark or burn and knife marks, across solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

Common questions in Cotmanhay

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
