Worktop repair near Hackney

Worktop repair in Hackney, done in place

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for cuts and scratches in the surface and chips on edges and corners, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

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

What we’re called out for in Hackney

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Common reasons people in Hackney contact us include:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
