Landlord and trade work in Kingston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
About our worktop repair in Kingston
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s dents and gouges and chips on edges and corners, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, quartz and granite & marble alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace in Kingston?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole worktop
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
