Worktop repair in South Stour, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and scorch marks from pans, on solid wood, granite & marble and quartz.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in South Stour
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Other services in South Stour
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repairing versus replacing in South Stour
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Questions from South Stour
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
