What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Worktop repair in Hambledon, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are scorch marks from pans and a damaged sink edge.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Hambledon

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there any odour?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Hambledon

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Landlord and trade work in Hambledon

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Hambledon

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips near the sink
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Gouges in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
