Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Leybourne?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Leybourne

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Signs you need worktop repair in Leybourne

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped corners
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Questions from Leybourne

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do you work in Leybourne?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Leybourne. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
