Worktop repair in Strood without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and cuts and scratches in the surface.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Signs you need worktop repair in Strood

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions from Strood

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Strood?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Strood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How much does worktop repair cost in Strood?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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