Need worktop repair in Farringdon?

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Your questions about worktop repair in Farringdon

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Are there extra charges for Farringdon?

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

Do you cover Farringdon?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Farringdon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

What we work on

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

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Farringdon

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Farringdon get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Farringdon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. 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.
