About our worktop repair in Keynor Estate

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. If you’re dealing with dents and gouges and a chipped quartz edge, we can usually put it right, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole worktop

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Keynor Estate

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across West Sussex.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

Across the UK, so Keynor Estate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How the visit works

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 typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need worktop repair in Keynor Estate?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips caused during installation

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Keynor Estate

A new 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. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
