Worktop repair at your home in South Town

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Our technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and a dent from a dropped pan.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips

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

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
