Worktop repair at your home in Chilswell
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new kitchen and dents and gouges, in solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about worktop repair in Chilswell
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually. A photo lets us check.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Chilswell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What else we do in Chilswell
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Chilswell and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
