Worktop repair for Headington Hill homes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

How we handle worktop repair in Headington Hill

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Whether it’s a damaged sink edge and dents and gouges, we can help, on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Headington Hill and across Oxfordshire.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Your questions about worktop repair in Headington Hill

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Headington Hill?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your OX3 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Headington Hill. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Headington Hill

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
