About our worktop repair in Richmond

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you’re dealing with chipped corners and dents and gouges, we can help, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Richmond

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our pricing.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Richmond

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Richmond

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Richmond

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Gouges in the surface

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

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

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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