Repairing versus replacing in Sydenham

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sydenham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Landlord and trade work in Sydenham

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Sydenham

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped quartz edge

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
