Worktop repair for Chartham homes

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CT4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Landlord and trade work in Chartham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Common problems we fix in Chartham

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chipped corners
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
