Worktop repair in New Charlton without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on quartz, laminate and solid wood, and people most often call us about chips near the sink and a chipped edge.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in New Charlton

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in New Charlton

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
