What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Signs you need worktop repair in Knave's Ash

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

Your questions about worktop repair in Knave's Ash

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do the materials smell?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Knave's Ash

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knave's Ash use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
