Worktop repair in Kemsing, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Whether it’s gouges in the surface and chips on edges and corners, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kemsing. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Kemsing questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens next?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Repair or replace in Kemsing?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
