Worktop repair in Havering's Grove without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and scorch marks from pans.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from Havering's Grove

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens next?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
