How we handle worktop repair in Alton

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We regularly repair laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and cuts and scratches in the surface.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Do you need worktop repair in Alton?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chipped corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire worktop

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 quote without visiting.

Alton: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How much does worktop repair cost in Alton?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SP4 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

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

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
