The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Your questions about worktop repair in Garsington
Do you work in Garsington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Garsington. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally. A picture lets us check.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Garsington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Dry around the sink and joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Common problems we fix in Garsington
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
Common reasons people in Garsington contact us are:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Burns from hot pans
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage from fitting or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

- If travel is included in the price
