Common questions in Reculver
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. A photo lets us check.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover Reculver?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Reculver. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reculver use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Never put hot pans down directly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
