Worktop repair for Somers Town homes

Worktop repair in Somers Town without replacing anything

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include dents and gouges and chipped corners, on laminate, solid wood and granite & marble.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Somers Town, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Somers Town

Edges and corners chip most frequently, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped edge

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Somers Town

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Questions from Somers Town

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

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

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

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Surfaces we repair

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