Worktop repair near Swiss Cottage

Worktop repair in Swiss Cottage, done in place

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and knife marks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Swiss Cottage as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Questions from Swiss Cottage

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Swiss Cottage included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
