DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in New Hythe

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What we are called out for in New Hythe

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What worktop repair costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

New Hythe: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Across the UK, and that includes New Hythe. Prices don’t change with location.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
