In a village like Hacklinge, kitchens in older homes frequently have character worth keeping. A repair keeps the original look.

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. In an older home in a village like Hacklinge, replacing a worktop can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Hacklinge questions
Can you fix worktops at a school or business in Hacklinge?
Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Will you travel to Hacklinge?
Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there. Somewhere like Hacklinge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the worktop repair, so there is no second trip.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- 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.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
