FAQs for Islington
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you cover Islington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Islington. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Islington included. Travel is included in the price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Worktop repair in Islington without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are damage around the sink cut-out and scratches and knife marks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Islington. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

- Damage to a stone worktop

- A damaged sink edge
- Damage from fitting or building work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
