Need worktop repair in Sandy Down?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

How we handle worktop repair in Sandy Down

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are cuts and scratches in the surface and dents and gouges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Sandy Down

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Sandy Down included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Sandy Down

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

What affects the price in Sandy Down

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Granite and stone

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