About our worktop repair in Freemantle

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and gouges in the surface, we can help, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Freemantle

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Get a quote

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Freemantle: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Southampton.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
