Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle worktop repair in Herne Bay
We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Typical jobs include gouges in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Clean spills right away
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Herne Bay get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
