How to compare quotes

Worktop repair at your home in East Village

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We are often asked to fix damage to a stone worktop and chips caused during installation, across solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about worktop repair in East Village

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
