Worktop repair near Soho

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Worktop repair in Soho, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Common call-outs are for a chipped quartz edge and chips caused during installation, across quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Soho as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Soho, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to compare quotes

Soho: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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