Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Finchley

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Finchley

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Landlord and trade work in Finchley

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Signs you need worktop repair in Finchley

Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A damaged sink edge

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
