The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

For a price in Hale, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Hale

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Hale?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

All of Medway, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Materials we work on in Hale

Landlord and trade work in Hale

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hale use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Hale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
