Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote.

Worktop repair in Bow, done in place

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix scratches and knife marks and chipped corners, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

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

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bow

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

FAQs for Bow

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you need worktop repair in Bow?

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Gouges in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
