How we handle worktop repair in Wadhurst
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and chips in quartz or granite, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Wadhurst
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that’s where cracks frequently begin.

- A heat mark or burn

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Wadhurst: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
