How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Choosing a repair company

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Wood

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

If you are in Hankham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Hankham

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?

Across the UK, so Hankham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hankham.
