All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Common questions in Askett
Do you cover the entire of Buckinghamshire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Askett. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace in Askett?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
