Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need worktop repair in Southover
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A chipped quartz edge
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage around the sink cut-out

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

What affects the price in Southover
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BN7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Southover: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?

Is there a guarantee?

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Southover is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically. A picture lets us check.
