The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Ifold: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
We cover the whole UK, including Ifold and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
