Worktop repair in Northbourne, done in place

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include a chipped quartz edge and a damaged sink edge, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Northbourne

Do you cover Northbourne?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Northbourne and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Northbourne

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Northbourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

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.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
