Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Repairing versus replacing in Wanstead
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Your questions about worktop repair in Wanstead
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When to call us in Wanstead
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A heat mark or burn
- Scratches and knife marks
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips near the sink
Comparing quotes

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
