Your questions about worktop repair in Cotton

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Cotton

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Wood

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
