What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Worktop repair in Rudgwick without replacing anything

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We work on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about a chipped quartz edge and chips caused during installation.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Questions from Rudgwick

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Rudgwick

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Do you need worktop repair in Rudgwick?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A damaged sink edge

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
