Worktop repair in Christchurch

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Worktop repair in Christchurch, done in place

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged sink edge and knife marks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Christchurch questions

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Christchurch included. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Christchurch?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need worktop repair in Christchurch

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Gouges in the surface
