Worktop repair near Eltham

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Worktop repair in Eltham without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and people most often call us about a dent from a dropped pan and scorch marks from pans.

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

Questions from Eltham

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally. A photo lets us check.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you need worktop repair in Eltham?

Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A chipped edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Eltham

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Eltham, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
