Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole worktop

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Lower Hartlip

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How much does worktop repair cost in Lower Hartlip?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you need worktop repair in Lower Hartlip?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips near the sink
  • A heat mark or burn

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep wood oiled

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

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
