Need worktop repair in Kingston?

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

About our worktop repair in Kingston

We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a chipped quartz edge and chipped corners.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Kingston: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Kingston

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips near the sink

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
