What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for North Finchley. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

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’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we work on in North Finchley

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Finchley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why North Finchley clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
