Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
How we handle worktop repair in Hernhill
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with chipped corners and burns from hot pans, we can help, on quartz, solid wood and laminate alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Hernhill: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Hernhill and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Hernhill
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Hernhill
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
