Worktop repair in Southbourne, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with scratches and knife marks and chips on edges and corners, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: 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 no obligation.

Southbourne: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BH6 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repairing versus replacing in Southbourne
