Worktop repair near St Leonards

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Worktop repair in St Leonards without replacing anything

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with burns from hot pans and damage to a stone worktop, we can generally put it right, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

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.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Your questions about worktop repair in St Leonards

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Will you leave a mess?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Common problems we fix in St Leonards

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
