Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Worktop repair in Hockenden, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood, and people most often call us about a heat mark or burn and damage to a stone worktop.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Hockenden
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Dents and gouges
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips in quartz or granite

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

Related advice
Hockenden: your questions answered
Do you come to Hockenden?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hockenden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Are there extra charges for Hockenden?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Clean spills straight away
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
