How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Chartham Hatch: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Chartham Hatch?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Chartham Hatch from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chartham Hatch

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in Chartham Hatch

Edges and corners chip most frequently, generally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips near the sink
