Worktop Repair across East Sussex

Our worktop repair service in East Sussex

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair quartz, solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during installation and knife marks.

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Sussex

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Sussex as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

East Sussex questions

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Are there extra charges for East Sussex?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
