Trusted worktop repair in Kingston

Worktop repair in Kingston without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s a chipped quartz edge and a damaged sink edge, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

FAQs for Kingston

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

When to call us in Kingston

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chipped corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
