Worktop repair in Maidstone, done in place
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you are dealing with chipped corners and a heat mark or burn, we can help, on solid wood, granite & marble and quartz alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Maidstone
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips on edges and corners
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Water-swollen laminate
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Maidstone
If you manage property in Maidstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Maidstone: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
