Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Kings Cross
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface

FAQs for Kings Cross
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover Kings Cross?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kings Cross. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
What we are called out for in Kings Cross
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Gouges in the surface
- Knife marks
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, 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 often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
