Worktop repair near West Kensington

Worktop repair at your home in West Kensington

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about knife marks and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in West Kensington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

What affects the price in West Kensington

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for West Kensington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole worktop

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

For a price in West Kensington, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from West Kensington

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A photo lets us check.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
