About our worktop repair in Fordwich
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or building work and a damaged sink edge, in granite & marble, solid wood and laminate.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Common questions in Fordwich
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Are there extra charges for Fordwich?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Fordwich, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Fordwich, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
