Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Landlord and trade work in Etchingham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace in Etchingham?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Etchingham. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Etchingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

  • Chips near the sink
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Dents and gouges

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure

Questions from Etchingham

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
