About our worktop repair in Wapping

We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you’re dealing with chips in quartz or granite and scratches and knife marks, we can help, on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wapping and across Greater London.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wapping

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Clean spills right away
  • Do not let water sit on joints

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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. 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.

FAQs for Wapping

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Solid surface

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

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Wapping

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Wapping and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.
