About our worktop repair in Mereworth
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with burns from hot pans and chips in quartz or granite, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mereworth as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Re-oil timber worktops
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Landlord and trade work in Mereworth
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Common questions in Mereworth
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Repair or replace in Mereworth?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
