How we handle worktop repair in Isle of Dogs

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for a heat mark or burn and a dent from a dropped pan, on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Isle of Dogs. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Isle of Dogs: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Repair or replace in Isle of Dogs?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
