Worktop repair near Southwood

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Do you need worktop repair in Southwood?

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Common reasons people in Southwood contact us include:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Questions from Southwood

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I book?

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

Do you come to Southwood?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Southwood and the rest of Hampshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
