About our worktop repair in Barling
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include cuts and scratches in the surface and damage from fitting or building work, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
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.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare

- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
