Book worktop repair in Dover

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Worktop repair in Dover without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Whether it’s burns from hot pans and damage from fitting or building work, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dover, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

When to call us in Dover

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes
