How we handle worktop repair in Benson

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We work on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are a dent from a dropped pan and chips in quartz or granite.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Benson customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Benson

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

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.

Benson questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
