Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Southsea

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chipped corners
  • Scratches and knife marks

Choosing a repair company

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Southsea. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.

Repair or replace in Southsea?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Southsea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our prices page.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Southsea: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
