How we handle worktop repair in East Saltdean
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges in the surface and chipped corners, across solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in East Saltdean
- Quartz

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Saltdean use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean spills immediately
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
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.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
