Repairing versus replacing in Charing Cross

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, 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. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charing Cross as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Charing Cross

  • Gouges in the surface

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
