The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, 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 with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Rye Foreign

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TN31 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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.

When to call us in Rye Foreign

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Dents and gouges
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills immediately

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
