How we handle worktop repair in Rotherhithe

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. If you’re dealing with dents and gouges and chips on edges and corners, we can help, on solid wood, laminate and quartz alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Repair or replace in Rotherhithe?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rotherhithe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

Landlord and trade work in Rotherhithe

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

For anyone letting property in or around Rotherhithe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Your questions about worktop repair in Rotherhithe

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Surfaces we repair

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