Your questions about worktop repair in Temple Hill

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Temple Hill

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace in Temple Hill?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get 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 quote, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Most customers in Temple Hill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What we’re called out for in Temple Hill

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Knife marks

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
