About our worktop repair in Petersham
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on laminate, solid wood and granite & marble, and people most often call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and burns from hot pans.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- 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 before you book.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Common questions in Petersham
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Do you work in Petersham?
We do. We send a technician to Petersham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Landlord and trade work in Petersham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Petersham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Petersham
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills right away
- Use a chopping board
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
