Worktop repair near Thames View Estate

Can I fix it myself?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 normally the cheaper route.

Worktop repair in Thames View Estate, done in place

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped quartz edge and cuts and scratches in the surface.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thames View Estate. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

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.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in Thames View Estate

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chipped corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
