DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not 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.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble

FAQs for Charlton-on-Otmoor
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Charlton-on-Otmoor.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

What we are called out for in Charlton-on-Otmoor

- Chips caused during installation
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
