How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Worktop repair in Hersden, done in place

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. If you are dealing with a chipped quartz edge and a heat mark or burn, we can normally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hersden and across Kent.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hersden

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hersden use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Hersden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Hersden clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common questions in Hersden

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

How much does worktop repair cost in Hersden?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT3 postcode.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
