Cowbar: your questions answered
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Cowbar?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you come to Cowbar?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cowbar. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Typically. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
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.
Worktop repair in Cowbar without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s a chipped edge and chips near the sink, we can help, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A top that moves on its units
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

When to call us in Cowbar
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Scratches and knife marks
- Burns from hot pans
