DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Signs you need worktop repair in Upper Hackney
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that’s where cracks often begin.

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Use a chopping board
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy. In a village or hamlet like Upper Hackney, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Advice
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. In an older home in a village like Upper Hackney, replacing a worktop can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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?

- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site
