  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How we handle worktop repair in Richborough Port

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and people most often call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and damage to a stone worktop.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Richborough Port

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Richborough Port. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

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.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Questions from Richborough Port

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Richborough Port?

We do. We send a technician to Richborough Port for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Materials we work on in Richborough Port

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

What we are called out for in Richborough Port

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that’s where cracks frequently begin.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Chipped corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A dent from a dropped pan
