The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Kennington

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Kennington

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Gouges in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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