Worktop repair at your home in Fencott

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and a chipped quartz edge, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Fencott, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Fencott

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
