Worktop repair in Alfriston

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole worktop

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we handle worktop repair in Alfriston

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most often call us about damage around the sink cut-out and scorch marks from pans.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Alfriston: your questions answered

Do you work in Alfriston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alfriston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Alfriston clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
