Worktop repair in Shipbourne without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on laminate, granite & marble and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are a dent from a dropped pan and scorch marks from pans.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare

- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Shipbourne: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Shipbourne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
Repairing versus replacing in Shipbourne
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shipbourne. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
