Worktop repair in Rottingdean without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our technicians work on granite & marble, laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are cuts and scratches in the surface and chips near the sink.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Rottingdean
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Do you need worktop repair in Rottingdean?
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rottingdean. The price reflects:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Rottingdean and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Rottingdean: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Rottingdean and the rest of Brighton and Hove. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
