Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about worktop repair in Garlinge Green

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

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.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you come to Garlinge Green?

We do. We send a technician to Garlinge Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area

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 will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Garlinge Green

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A heat mark or burn

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
