Basingstoke questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Signs you need worktop repair in Basingstoke
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Chips near the sink
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Basingstoke
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG24 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Basingstoke
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Clean spills right away
- Use a chopping board
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Repairing versus replacing in Basingstoke
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
