About our worktop repair in Highbury
We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Typical jobs include a heat mark or burn and a damaged sink edge, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Related advice
When to call us in Highbury
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Dents and gouges
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A chipped quartz edge
- Chips on edges and corners
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
Common questions in Highbury
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Highbury?
We do. Technicians travel to Highbury from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture and we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
