Worktop repair near Rye

When to call us in Rye

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Knife marks
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Rented homes near Rye station (in Rye itself) change hands often, and repairing worktops between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Worktop repair in Rye, done in place

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We work on solid wood, laminate and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips on edges and corners and chips near the sink.

Around Rye, family kitchens see plenty of use, and burns and chips build up. We repair them in place.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. In a smaller place like Rye, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.

Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. Visits around Rye are typically simple: we park, protect the room and get started.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Prices and what affects them

  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
