How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in South Malling and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A damaged sink edge

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Solid surface

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

South Malling: your questions answered

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in South Malling?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Sussex.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
