Repairing versus replacing in Sevenoaks

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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sevenoaks. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
