Advice
Worktop repair in Cottingham, done in place
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We are often asked to fix burns from hot pans and chips in quartz or granite, in laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Cottingham questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually. A photo lets us check.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Cottingham
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
