Worktop repair in Chiltington, done in place

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped edge and gouges in the surface.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chiltington and across East Sussex.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chiltington. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Chiltington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
