How we handle worktop repair in Shadoxhurst

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. Our technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fitting or building work and chips near the sink.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Shadoxhurst, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
