Need worktop repair in Plaistow?

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why Plaistow customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

10 questions to ask before booking

Plaistow questions

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. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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