Worktop repair in Cowhill

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Worktop repair in Cowhill without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you are dealing with burns from hot pans and a chipped edge, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our full price list.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

10 questions to ask before booking

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
