Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about worktop repair in Tankerton
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble

Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
What affects the price in Tankerton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep wood oiled
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not let water sit on joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
