How we handle worktop repair in Hampton

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our repair technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are scratches and knife marks and damage from fitting or building work.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

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.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hampton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hampton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Hampton

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When to call us in Hampton

Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

Common reasons people in Hampton contact us include:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
