About our worktop repair in Hither Green
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s chips near the sink and chips on edges and corners, we can help, on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Advice
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hither Green. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Signs you need worktop repair in Hither Green
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- A chipped quartz edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips on edges and corners
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
- Cracks right through stone that has moved

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hither Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common questions in Hither Green
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
