Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ware
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
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.
When to call us in Ware
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chipped corners
- Chips caused during installation
- A damaged sink edge

When we would advise against a repair

- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Ware questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
