FAQs for Acton
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Acton included. Travel is included in the price.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally. A picture lets us check.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Acton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Acton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Acton
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
