Worktop repair near Petham

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle worktop repair in Petham

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair laminate, quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and chips near the sink.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Petham: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How much does worktop repair cost in Petham?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Honest limits

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

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Petham

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Petham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Common problems we fix in Petham

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
