How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Herne Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Herne Hill

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Herne Hill: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.
