Worktop repair in Kentish Town, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners and damage to a stone worktop.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Kentish Town questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Kentish Town?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Clean spills right away
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep wood oiled
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repair or replace in Kentish Town?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
