Trusted worktop repair in Fontwell

Can I fix it myself?

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 normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Worktop repair at your home in Fontwell

We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Whether it’s a chipped quartz edge and damage around the sink cut-out, we can help, on solid wood, granite & marble and quartz alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Fontwell

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for these signs:

  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Fontwell

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  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. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fontwell use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

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

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

FAQs for Fontwell

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
