What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Plumstead and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Plumstead questions

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Plumstead?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Plumstead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

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

Do you need worktop repair in Plumstead?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Knife marks
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
