Upper Cotton questions

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

When to call us in Upper Cotton

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chipped corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Cotton

For anyone letting property in or around Upper Cotton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
