About our worktop repair in Hounsdown

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix cuts and scratches in the surface and dents and gouges, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Hounsdown, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hounsdown as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Hounsdown

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Your questions about worktop repair in Hounsdown

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SO40 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What we do, step by step

We turn 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. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

If you are in Hounsdown and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
