Worktop repair at your home in Kensington

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and chips on edges and corners.

Kitchens in Kensington are often fitted into tight spaces, so replacing one item disturbs the rest. Repairing it avoids the upheaval.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Kensington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Kensington

Do you take on commercial work in Kensington?

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

Do you work for landlords with property near Kensington Olympia station?

Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and several addresses can be quoted together.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

How much do I need to move?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used. For a visit in Kensington, parking and stairs are the things to plan: tell us which floor the worktop is on, whether there is a lift, and where we can park, and we’ll carry everything up.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Kensington

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. In a London home like many in Kensington, replacing a worktop also means getting the old one out and the new one in, frequently up stairs, plus parking for the fitters and room for any waste. Worktop repair in place avoids all of that.

Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

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