Repair or replace in Holloway?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When to call us in Holloway
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Knife marks
- Chips caused during installation
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A dent from a dropped pan
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Holloway. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holloway
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Holloway
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
