Worktop repair at your home in Hadlow

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you’re dealing with a damaged sink edge and damage to a stone worktop, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

FAQs for Hadlow

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN11 postcode.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover Hadlow?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hadlow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

When to call us in Hadlow

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Burns from hot pans

Comparing quotes

  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Hadlow

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hadlow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we would advise against a repair

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
