Choosing a repair company

Worktop repair at your home in Shooter's Hill

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for chips caused during installation and chipped corners, in solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Shooter's Hill questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shooter's Hill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
