Need worktop repair in Sandling?

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking 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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Solid surface

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills right away
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repair or replace in Sandling?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our full price list.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
