Worktop repair in Brightons

What affects the price in Brightons

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Brightons. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

If you’re in Brightons and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Worktop repair in Brightons without replacing anything

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair laminate, granite & marble and quartz, and people most frequently call us about a chipped edge and gouges in the surface.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Brightons questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much does worktop repair cost in Brightons?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically. A photo lets us check.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

What we are called out for in Brightons

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brightons use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Brightons

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Brightons. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
