Advice

Worktop repair in King's Somborne, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We are often asked to fix damage around the sink cut-out and chips caused during installation, on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around King's Somborne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for King's Somborne

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?

What we are called out for in King's Somborne

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A heat mark or burn

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
