Worktop repair in St Michaels without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new kitchen and burns from hot pans, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Landlord and trade work in St Michaels
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep wood oiled
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Water-swollen laminate

St Michaels: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in St Michaels?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Michaels for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
