Should you replace it?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle worktop repair in Harvel
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include chips near the sink and burns from hot pans, across solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need worktop repair in Harvel
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches and knife marks
- A chipped edge
- Chips near the sink
- Scorch marks from pans
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Harvel
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Harvel is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
