Worktop repair near Southdown

Worktop repair in Southdown without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for burns from hot pans and a chipped edge, in solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

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 we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for 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 entire worktop, we can price the job.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southdown as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Southdown

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Southdown. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Southdown?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Southdown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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 won’t last.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
