Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

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

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Do you need worktop repair in Charlton?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A heat mark or burn

If you manage a building such as Singleton CofE Primary School, we repair staff kitchens as well as work in homes.

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about worktop repair in Charlton

Do you cover villages like Charlton?

Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, at no extra charge.

Do you take on commercial work in Charlton?

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Send pictures and details of the building.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go. Somewhere as small as Charlton, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
