Worktop repair in Rusher's Cross without replacing anything
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with damage around the sink cut-out and chips on edges and corners, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Rusher's Cross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz

Rusher's Cross questions
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to Rusher's Cross?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rusher's Cross and the rest of East Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rusher's Cross
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
