The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Repair or replace in Langley Common?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langley Common use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Langley Common

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips near the sink
