Worktop repair near Speed Gate

Worktop repair in Speed Gate, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with chips near the sink and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can usually put it right, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Speed Gate

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
