How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills right away
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Bishopstone

How much does worktop repair cost in Bishopstone?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Bishopstone?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bishopstone and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Wood

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

What we are called out for in Bishopstone

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A damaged sink edge

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
