Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
FAQs for Southgate
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Southgate and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole worktop
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Repair or replace in Southgate?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

Common problems we fix in Southgate
Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Chipped corners
- Burns from hot pans
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
