Worktop repair near Southbourne

How we handle worktop repair in Southbourne

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Typical jobs include cuts and scratches in the surface and gouges in the surface, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Southbourne

Do you work in Southbourne?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Southbourne. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use a chopping board

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Southbourne. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Southbourne, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Southbourne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

When to call us in Southbourne

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Knife marks

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
