Trusted worktop repair in Itchen

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Worktop repair at your home in Itchen

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for chips in quartz or granite and gouges in the surface, across solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Itchen questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you come to Itchen?

We do. Technicians travel to Itchen from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Itchen. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Do you need worktop repair in Itchen?

Edges and corners chip most often, often when something heavy catches the edge.

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

  • Burns from hot pans
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chipped corners
  • Knife marks

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
