Worktop repair in Romsey

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

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

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Worktop repair at your home in Romsey

Different worktops need different repairs: 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. Typical jobs include knife marks and a damaged sink edge, on solid wood, quartz and laminate.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

When to call us in Romsey

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners

Questions from Romsey

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
