Your questions about worktop repair in Royal Tunbridge Wells

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Royal Tunbridge Wells

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Royal Tunbridge Wells

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped edge

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
