About our worktop repair in Farnham

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and people most frequently call us about a chipped quartz edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Farnham

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does worktop repair cost in Farnham?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM23 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

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

What we work on

  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farnham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Advice

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
