Book worktop repair in Lea Valley

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Worktop repair in Lea Valley without replacing anything

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include chips on edges and corners and scratches and knife marks, in granite & marble, quartz and laminate.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lea Valley

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Lea Valley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Questions from Lea Valley
