Questions from Great Oakley
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Worktop repair at your home in Great Oakley

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Oakley as everywhere else we work.

- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What else we do in Great Oakley
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Landlord and trade work in Great Oakley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
