What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Forest Gate
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your E7 postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. 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?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What affects the price in Forest Gate
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
