Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Repairing versus replacing in Plumpton Green

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Plumpton Green questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Plumpton Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Plumpton Green. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Sussex.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BN7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Plumpton Green

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped edge
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Gouges in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
