About our worktop repair in Tonge Corner
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for gouges in the surface and chips near the sink, on granite & marble, laminate and quartz.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Clean spills right away
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Tonge Corner
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A heat mark or burn
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Knife marks
- Chips caused during installation

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tonge Corner. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tonge Corner. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
