What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to East Ham. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for East Ham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for East Ham

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Are there extra charges for East Ham?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills right away
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Common problems we fix in East Ham

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks frequently begin.

Common reasons people in East Ham contact us are:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Knife marks
  • Dents and gouges
  • A damaged sink edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
