- Repairs from £95
- Chips near the sink
- A dent from a dropped pan
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole worktop
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Worktop repair at your home in Finglesham
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and a heat mark or burn.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What else we do in Finglesham
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
What we are called out for in Finglesham
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Knife marks
- Damage from fitting or building work

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep wood oiled
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
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.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
