Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Worktop repair in Canterbury, done in place
We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. We work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during installation and cuts and scratches in the surface.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.
What affects the price in Canterbury
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in Canterbury and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

- Scratches and knife marks
What your quote should include

FAQs for Canterbury
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Canterbury. Prices do not change with location.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Canterbury
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
