Worktop repair near Hamble-le-Rice

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Hamble-le-Rice

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Hamble-le-Rice and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

What we’re called out for in Hamble-le-Rice

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Dents and gouges

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
