About our worktop repair in Aldington
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Your questions about worktop repair in Aldington
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
