Worktop repair at your home in Gillingham
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are damage around the sink cut-out and scorch marks from pans.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Gillingham
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gillingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gillingham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- No need to remove anything

Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
