Worktop repair at your home in Colliers Wood
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include chipped corners and a chipped quartz edge, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Colliers Wood and across Greater London.

Common questions in Colliers Wood
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep wood oiled
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Clean spills straight away
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
