How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Repairing versus replacing in Alresford

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep wood oiled

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Signs you need worktop repair in Alresford

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks often begin.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alresford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Alresford

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price.
