Worktop Repair in Medway

About worktop repair in Medway

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We’re often asked to fix damage to a stone worktop and chipped corners, on quartz, solid wood and laminate.

Once we are through the door, 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. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Signs you need worktop repair

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A chipped edge
  • Dents and gouges

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

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

Granite and stone

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