Worktop repair in Plaistow, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and quartz, and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and gouges in the surface.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What affects the price in Plaistow
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Plaistow: your questions answered
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Plaistow. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you come to Plaistow?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Plaistow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Plaistow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
