Worktop repair near Pollards Hill

Worktop repair in Pollards Hill without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Whether it’s a heat mark or burn and dents and gouges, we can normally put it right, on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common questions in Pollards Hill

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What affects the price in Pollards Hill

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pollards Hill

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
