Worktop repair near Cheriton

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

What we’re called out for in Cheriton

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Knife marks
  • Gouges in the surface

  • Scorch marks from pans

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Cheriton?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What affects the price in Cheriton

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cheriton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Cheriton: your questions answered

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you come to Cheriton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cheriton and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
