Your questions about worktop repair in Kent Street

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are there extra charges for Kent Street?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Kent Street?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Kent Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use a chopping board

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in Kent Street

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
