Worktop repair in Friday Hill, Greater London
Worktop repair across Friday Hill and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Dents and gouges
- Damage from fitting or building work
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
About our worktop repair in Friday Hill
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include chips in quartz or granite and a heat mark or burn, on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Friday Hill as everywhere else we work.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Friday Hill. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Friday Hill, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Friday Hill
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks frequently begin.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on edges and corners
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Chips in quartz or granite
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Friday Hill
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover Friday Hill?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Friday Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
