What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Worktop repair in Hamrow without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We’re often asked to fix damage from fitting or building work and chipped corners, in solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hamrow as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Hamrow and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

FAQs for Hamrow

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Hamrow

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
