How we handle worktop repair in New Cross

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are a chipped edge and knife marks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Cross

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

New Cross questions

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to New Cross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
