Book worktop repair in London Docklands

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Worktop repair at your home in London Docklands

We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We’re often asked to fix chips in quartz or granite and chips caused during installation, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Materials we repair

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about worktop repair in London Docklands

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
