Worktop repair near Alphington

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

About our worktop repair in Alphington

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips near the sink.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Alphington?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Alphington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book

Take a look at our prices page.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Choosing a repair company

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
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Questions from Alphington

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
