How we handle worktop repair in Clap Hill

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips near the sink and a heat mark or burn.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Clap Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

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

Materials we work on in Clap Hill

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Clap Hill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Clap Hill

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chipped corners

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Clap Hill: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the whole UK, including Clap Hill and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
