When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Worktop repair in Bloomsbury without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about burns from hot pans and scratches and knife marks.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bloomsbury and across Greater London.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bloomsbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Never put hot pans down directly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Bloomsbury
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Do you come to Bloomsbury?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bloomsbury. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
