About our worktop repair in Kempe's Corner

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about chips near the sink and a heat mark or burn.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Kempe's Corner questions

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Kempe's Corner is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kempe's Corner as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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 price the job without visiting.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Wood

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