DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common questions in Kettle Corner
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Kettle Corner and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
