Worktop repair for Chittlehampton homes

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chittlehampton. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chittlehampton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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.
