The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Questions from Popley

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Popley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Popley and the rest of Hampshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Popley

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Gouges in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Use a chopping board
  • Clean spills right away
  • Keep wood oiled

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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