What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle worktop repair in Walthamstow

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s damage from fitting or building work and gouges in the surface, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Walthamstow get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Walthamstow

Common reasons people in Walthamstow contact us include:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Scratches and knife marks

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish

Questions from Walthamstow

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.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Walthamstow?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your E17 postcode.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What your worktop is made of matters
