Worktop repair in St Leonards without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s a damaged sink edge and damage to a stone worktop, we can generally put it right, on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Landlord and trade work in St Leonards
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
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.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for St Leonards. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in St Leonards, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
