Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seven Dials as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Your questions about worktop repair in Seven Dials
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What else we do in Seven Dials
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Common problems we fix in Seven Dials
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.

- Chips near the sink

Repairing versus replacing in Seven Dials
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
