About our worktop repair in Cutteslowe
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged sink edge and a heat mark or burn.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Clean spills right away
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cutteslowe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Cutteslowe questions
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cutteslowe.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
