Worktop repair in Cowick, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are dents and gouges and burns from hot pans.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood

Cowick questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Cowick?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cowick. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Other services in Cowick
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Cowick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
