When to call us in Aldershot
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips near the sink
- Dents and gouges
- Knife marks
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood

FAQs for Aldershot
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Aldershot?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
