DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Worktop repair in Ide Hill, done in place
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Typical jobs include a dent from a dropped pan and damage from fitting or building work, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Ide Hill?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Your questions about worktop repair in Ide Hill
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
