Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Clean spills straight away
- Keep wood oiled
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about worktop repair in Cottered
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are there extra charges for Cottered?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Cottered and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
