Worktop repair in Keycol without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We’re often asked to fix knife marks and chips on edges and corners, in quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keycol as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Keycol

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chipped corners

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Your questions about worktop repair in Keycol

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Keycol included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

How much does worktop repair cost in Keycol?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

What affects the price in Keycol

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.
