How we handle worktop repair in Buckhurst Hill

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and people most often call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Buckhurst Hill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How many items we do on one visit
The colour and finish to match
What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

Any details about the material
A photo taken from further back
Natural light rather than flash
One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Keep wood oiled
Wipe up spills quickly
Dry around the sink and joints

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
