Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Stockwell
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stockwell. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stockwell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
