Worktop repair at your home in Maplescombe

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you’re dealing with a chipped edge and burns from hot pans, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Maplescombe

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Knife marks

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

Maplescombe questions

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maplescombe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Maplescombe

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire worktop

If you are in Maplescombe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
