Trusted worktop repair in Poynings

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

About our worktop repair in Poynings

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for chips in quartz or granite and a dent from a dropped pan, in granite & marble, laminate and solid wood.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Poynings, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Poynings

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN45 postcode.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Poynings

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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