Worktop repair in Roydon Hamlet, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair quartz, solid wood and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips in quartz or granite.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Roydon Hamlet

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you need worktop repair in Roydon Hamlet?

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
