Worktop repair in West Coates without replacing anything
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about burns from hot pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Common questions in West Coates
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in West Coates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Clean spills straight away
- Never put hot pans down directly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
