DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Worktop repair in Coldred without replacing anything
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are knife marks and damage from fitting or building work.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coldred
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coldred use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
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 colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Coldred, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about worktop repair in Coldred
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Coldred included. There is no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
