Common questions in Coton in the Elms
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Coton in the Elms, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
