About our worktop repair in Minster

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about a chipped edge and knife marks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Minster and across Kent.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Minster questions

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Minster

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

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.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Signs you need worktop repair in Minster

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
