Your questions about worktop repair in Clerkenwell
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you work in Clerkenwell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clerkenwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Clerkenwell
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Clerkenwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
