Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kentisbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Kentisbury: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EX31 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in Kentisbury

Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chipped corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Kentisbury

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
