Golders Green: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Golders Green.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Golders Green. Prices do not change with location.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

About our worktop repair in Golders Green

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s a dent from a dropped pan and scorch marks from pans, we can typically put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Golders Green and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Common problems we fix in Golders Green

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chipped corners

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
