Repairs by material

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
How we handle worktop repair in Colden Common
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with dents and gouges and chips on edges and corners, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Questions from Colden Common
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Landlord and trade work in Colden Common
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
