What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

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.

Signs you need worktop repair in Old Ford

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Ford

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

If you manage property in Old Ford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

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

Old Ford questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work in Old Ford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Old Ford and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
