How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills straight away

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Headcorn: your questions answered

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

10 questions to ask before you book

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
