Trusted worktop repair in Telegraph Hill

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Worktop repair at your home in Telegraph Hill

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and scratches and knife marks, across quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Telegraph Hill

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Telegraph Hill. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Telegraph Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

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

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