Worktop repair in Clapham, done in place

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price worktop repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

What we work on

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood

FAQs for Clapham

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
