Worktop repair for Alstone homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Worktop repair in Alstone, done in place

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s chips near the sink and chips on edges and corners, we can help, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about worktop repair in Alstone

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace in Alstone?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How to compare quotes

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Alstone, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alstone as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
