About our worktop repair in Capstone

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are dents and gouges and knife marks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Capstone as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Clean spills right away
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Capstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business

Landlord and trade work in Capstone

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Common problems we fix in Capstone

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Dents and gouges
  • Knife marks

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Capstone

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Medway.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
