How we handle worktop repair in Willingdon

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for chipped corners and chips caused during installation, on solid wood, laminate and quartz.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Willingdon and across East Sussex.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, 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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
