About our worktop repair in Thanington
Different worktops need different repairs: 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. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges in the surface and cuts and scratches in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Do not let water sit on joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Thanington
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
