Worktop repair in Lyminge, done in place

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped edge and a chipped quartz edge, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

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 we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Common problems we fix in Lyminge

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips on edges and corners

How to compare quotes

Lyminge: your questions answered

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Lyminge and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
