King Cross questions

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you repair quartz?

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

Are there extra charges for King Cross?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What affects the price in King Cross

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in King Cross

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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why King Cross clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
