Trusted worktop repair in Paglesham

Worktop repair at your home in Paglesham

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair laminate, granite & marble and quartz, and the jobs we see most are a damaged sink edge and damage to a stone worktop.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Paglesham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Do you need worktop repair in Paglesham?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips in quartz or granite

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

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 pictures, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common questions in Paglesham

When can you do it?

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Are you a vetted contractor?
