Repair or replace in Canewdon?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Canewdon. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Canewdon

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

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.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
