Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aldgate

For anyone letting property in or around Aldgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Aldgate, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Aldgate

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped edge
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Your questions about worktop repair in Aldgate

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work in Aldgate?

We do. We send a technician to Aldgate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How do I book?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
