Worktop repair near Thorpe Hamlet

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Worktop repair in Thorpe Hamlet without replacing anything

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with chips near the sink and a dent from a dropped pan, we can help, on granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

What affects the price in Thorpe Hamlet

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Signs you need worktop repair in Thorpe Hamlet

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Thorpe Hamlet questions

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
