About our worktop repair in Collier Row

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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. If you are dealing with a chipped quartz edge and chips on edges and corners, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Collier Row as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Collier Row

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

When to call us in Collier Row

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips caused during installation

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Collier Row: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
