Our hiring checklist

Your questions about worktop repair in Waterloo

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterloo use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Advice

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Waterloo. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SE1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Waterloo

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
