Lydd-on-Sea questions

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Do you work in Lydd-on-Sea?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lydd-on-Sea for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lydd-on-Sea. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need worktop repair in Lydd-on-Sea

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chipped corners

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Landlord and trade work in Lydd-on-Sea

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
