Worktop repair near Hastings

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Worktop repair in Hastings without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you are dealing with scorch marks from pans and chips on edges and corners, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hastings. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TA19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

When to call us in Hastings

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Knife marks

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlord and trade work in Hastings

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
