How we handle worktop repair in Teston

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for burns from hot pans and cuts and scratches in the surface, in quartz, solid wood and laminate.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

What we work on

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

FAQs for Teston

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Teston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Teston

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A heat mark or burn

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
