Worktop repair in Ardington, done in place

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage to a stone worktop, across quartz, laminate and granite & marble.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

FAQs for Ardington

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
