Lea: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Lea. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
About our worktop repair in Lea
Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. Our technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a chipped edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Lea
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Lea, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Lea
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips near the sink
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Burns from hot pans
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Other services in Lea
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lea. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lea, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
