Worktop repair near North Brixton

Worktop repair at your home in North Brixton

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 laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and people most often call us about a chipped edge and chips near the sink.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Brixton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

North Brixton: your questions answered

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover North Brixton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to North Brixton and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including North Brixton and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in North Brixton

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chipped corners
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
