About our worktop repair in St Kew Highway

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood, and people most often call us about scorch marks from pans and dents and gouges.

Every job is backed for twelve months in St Kew Highway and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in St Kew Highway

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

St Kew Highway: your questions answered

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to St Kew Highway. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
