What affects the price in Margaretting
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Margaretting. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Never put hot pans down directly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Margaretting: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
