Worktop repair in River, West Sussex
Our technicians come to River for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A damaged sink edge
- Dents and gouges
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
How we handle worktop repair in River
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you’re dealing with a chipped edge and knife marks, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in River
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for River. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
