Worktop repair near Plaistow

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Worktop repair in Plaistow without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our repair technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are burns from hot pans and a chipped quartz edge.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
