About our worktop repair in Eastbourne

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s cuts and scratches in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out, we can help.

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Eastbourne questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Eastbourne?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Eastbourne

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
