Worktop repair in Knapp

Questions from Knapp

How much do I need to move?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Worktop repair in Knapp without replacing anything

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We work on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about a chipped edge and a damaged sink edge.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Take a look at our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knapp use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Knapp, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
