Worktop repair near Stanhope

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

About our worktop repair in Stanhope

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are chips near the sink and damage to a stone worktop.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Questions from Stanhope

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stanhope. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Stanhope

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Knife marks

Before you book anyone

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price
