Worktop repair in Old Alresford without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and damage around the sink cut-out.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Alresford as everywhere else we work.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Old Alresford
Edges and corners chip most often, often when something heavy catches the edge.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Scratches and knife marks
- Dents and gouges
- Scorch marks from pans
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repairing versus replacing in Old Alresford
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Old Alresford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Are you a vetted contractor?
