Worktop repair near Shoreditch

Shoreditch questions

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your E1 postcode.

Worktop repair in Shoreditch without replacing anything

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Whether it’s chipped corners and scratches and knife marks, we can help, on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Repair or replace in Shoreditch?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

What affects the price in Shoreditch

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shoreditch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
