Trusted worktop repair in Kingston

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

What we work on

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

Worktop repair in Kingston, done in place

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We are frequently asked to fix damage from fitting or building work and gouges in the surface, across laminate, granite & marble and quartz.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

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 normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.

Questions from Kingston

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover Kingston?

We do. Technicians travel to Kingston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Kingston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
