How we handle worktop repair in West Hampstead
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you’re dealing with chips near the sink and dents and gouges, we can normally put it right, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NW3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in West Hampstead
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work in West Hampstead?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Hampstead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
If you are in West Hampstead and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
