How worktop repair works in Southampton

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most often call us about damage to a stone worktop and chips near the sink.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, 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.

Repair or replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours.

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

Signs you need worktop repair

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Common questions in Southampton

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you cover the entire of Southampton?

All of Southampton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
