Worktop repair at your home in Childrey
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Our repair technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most often call us about burns from hot pans and a chipped edge.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Landlord and trade work in Childrey
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Childrey questions
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Childrey?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Use a chopping board
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
