Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Whitstable

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whitstable. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Whitstable

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Granite and stone

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

When to call us in Whitstable

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
