How we handle worktop repair in Platt's Heath

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include a chipped edge and knife marks, on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Platt's Heath

Common questions in Platt's Heath

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Platt's Heath?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional 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, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Use a chopping board
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
