Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

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

Common questions in South Hampstead

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for South Hampstead?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills immediately

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Materials we repair

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

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in South Hampstead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
