How we handle worktop repair in Hythe
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include a dent from a dropped pan and damage to a stone worktop, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hythe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
