About our worktop repair in Botley

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, solid wood and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are gouges in the surface and chips caused during installation.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Clean spills straight away

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

FAQs for Botley

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX2 postcode.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
