Worktop repair near Earl's Court

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

About our worktop repair in Earl's Court

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and dents and gouges, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

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.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When to call us in Earl's Court

Edges and corners chip most frequently, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Dents and gouges
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips in quartz or granite

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Earl's Court

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

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

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Earl's Court

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
