Worktop repair in Redbridge

Worktop repair in Redbridge without replacing anything

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. We work on granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are a chipped edge and gouges in the surface.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Redbridge: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Redbridge.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redbridge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped edge
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scratches and knife marks

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
