Worktop repair for The Frenches homes

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Worktop repair in The Frenches, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Whether it’s chips on edges and corners and gouges in the surface, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Your questions about worktop repair in The Frenches

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work in The Frenches?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to The Frenches and the rest of Hampshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

What areas do you cover?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Frenches

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
