About our worktop repair in Heron Quays
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. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate, and people most frequently call us about damage from fitting or building work and gouges in the surface.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Heron Quays: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you cover Heron Quays?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Heron Quays and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
