What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Pembury: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How much do I need to move?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you come to Pembury?

We do. We send a technician to Pembury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Pembury

Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped quartz edge

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
