How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Re-oil timber worktops
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Scragged Oak questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
