Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common questions in Onecote

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Common problems we fix in Onecote

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Onecote. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Onecote. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.
