Worktop repair in Matchams without replacing anything
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for a heat mark or burn and chips on edges and corners, across granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Matchams questions
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Matchams
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
