About our worktop repair in Locks Heath

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair laminate, quartz and solid wood, and people most often call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and dents and gouges.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Most clients in Locks Heath get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

When to call us in Locks Heath

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Questions from Locks Heath

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Are you accredited?

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

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Locks Heath?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

What affects the price in Locks Heath

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Clean spills straight away

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Landlord and trade work in Locks Heath

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
