About our worktop repair in Houghton
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns from hot pans and cuts and scratches in the surface.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Houghton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Clean spills straight away
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Houghton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved

Questions from Houghton
How much does worktop repair cost in Houghton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
