Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What affects the price in Stepney

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stepney. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Your questions about worktop repair in Stepney

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Stepney?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stepney for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
