Worktop repair at your home in Tilgate

We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you’re dealing with damage around the sink cut-out and burns from hot pans, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Tilgate

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Tilgate

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Knife marks
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tilgate

  • Quartz

Tilgate: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Tilgate?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Tilgate and the rest of West Sussex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Usually. A picture lets us check.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across West Sussex.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Wood

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
