Book worktop repair in Emsworth

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle worktop repair in Emsworth

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for dents and gouges and chips caused during installation, in granite & marble, solid wood and quartz.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Repairs by material

Wood

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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What affects the price in Emsworth

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Emsworth. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Emsworth, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Emsworth

Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chipped corners
  • Scorch marks from pans

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
