Worktop repair in Plaxtol, Kent
Our technicians come to Plaxtol for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped corners
- Gouges in the surface
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Worktop repair at your home in Plaxtol
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with chips caused during installation and chips on edges and corners, we can normally put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Plaxtol and across Kent.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Your questions about worktop repair in Plaxtol
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TN15 postcode.
Do you work in Plaxtol?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Plaxtol from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Repairing versus replacing in Plaxtol

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Plaxtol. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Plaxtol, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When to call us in Plaxtol
Edges and corners chip most frequently, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

- Chipped corners
- A damaged sink edge
- A heat mark or burn
- A chipped quartz edge
