Worktop repair in Maida Vale, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix a heat mark or burn and chips caused during installation, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Maida Vale. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maida Vale use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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.

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.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repairing versus replacing in Maida Vale

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
