Worktop repair near Rownhams

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Rownhams

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rownhams. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Rownhams

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
