How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kingsnorth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Kingsnorth, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Kingsnorth

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about worktop repair in Kingsnorth

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Common problems we fix in Kingsnorth

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chipped corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips near the sink

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Repair or replace in Kingsnorth?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
