FAQs for Southgate
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Southgate included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Worktop repair at your home in Southgate
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are cuts and scratches in the surface and chipped corners.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not 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 are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southgate
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Southgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Other services in Southgate
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Southgate
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
