About our worktop repair in Cranbrook

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and knife marks, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When to call us in Cranbrook

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped edge

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Cranbrook

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Granite and stone

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

Common questions in Cranbrook

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How much does worktop repair cost in Cranbrook?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Cranbrook?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cranbrook from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cranbrook use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
