FAQs for Tunbridge Hill

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Worktop repair in Tunbridge Hill, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you are dealing with dents and gouges and cuts and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, on laminate, quartz and solid wood alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Tunbridge Hill

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Tunbridge Hill clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

When to call us in Tunbridge Hill

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chipped corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite
