Worktop repair in Portsea

Worktop repair in Portsea, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most frequently call us about scorch marks from pans and gouges in the surface.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills straight away

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repair or replace in Portsea?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our pricing.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Portsea. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole worktop

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Signs you need worktop repair in Portsea

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Burns from hot pans
