About our worktop repair in Ash
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a chipped quartz edge and scratches and knife marks.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ash and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Ash: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Ash?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?

All of TN15 and DA3 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Whether you live on Ash Road, The Street and Billet Hill or anywhere nearby, we can come to you. Close by, we cover West Yoke (1 mile north), Fawkham Green (1 mile north-west), Speed Gate (1 mile north-west), Stansted (2 miles south) and West Kingsdown (2 miles south-west).

Landmarks near Ash

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep wood oiled
- Use a chopping board
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repairing versus replacing in Ash
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
