About our worktop repair in Redbridge

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with scratches and knife marks and a heat mark or burn, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Common questions in Redbridge

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you come to Redbridge?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Redbridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you need worktop repair in Redbridge?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

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

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redbridge use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
