Worktop repair in Sholden

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sholden. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Sholden get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our worktop repair in Sholden

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our repair technicians work on laminate, granite & marble and quartz, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and a damaged sink edge.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Common questions in Sholden

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you come to Sholden?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sholden. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Landlord and trade work in Sholden

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

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 matters when someone is living in the home.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills right away
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
