How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlord and trade work in North Benfleet

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in North Benfleet, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about worktop repair in North Benfleet

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for North Benfleet. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
