Worktop Repair in Otham
Chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops at your home in Otham, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A damaged sink edge
- Gouges in the surface
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Worktop repair in Otham without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid wood, laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the sink cut-out and damage to a stone worktop.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Questions from Otham
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover Otham?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Otham and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep wood oiled
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
