About our worktop repair in Burkham

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include a chipped edge and cuts and scratches in the surface, in granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Burkham

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

When to call us in Burkham

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chipped corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. 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, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
