Questions from Cholsey
Is the work guaranteed?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you come to Cholsey?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cholsey for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cholsey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cholsey, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
