Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle worktop repair in Fairlight Cove
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and a chipped quartz edge, across laminate, quartz and solid wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Fairlight Cove and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
Across the UK, and that includes Fairlight Cove. Prices don’t change with location.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What we’re called out for in Fairlight Cove
Edges and corners chip most often, often when something heavy catches the edge.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Knife marks
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Burns from hot pans
- A damaged sink edge
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Work for landlords and builders
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.
If you manage property in Fairlight Cove, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
