Your questions about worktop repair in Charlton-in-Dover
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you come to Charlton-in-Dover?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Charlton-in-Dover and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Worktop repair in Charlton-in-Dover, done in place
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. We always aim for a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with scratches and knife marks and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Common problems we fix in Charlton-in-Dover
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Gouges in the surface
- A heat mark or burn
- Chips caused during installation
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
