What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairing versus replacing in Polegate

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Polegate clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Polegate

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Polegate.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
