FAQs for East End

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How much do I need to move?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East End use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

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

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos 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.

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped edge
