Repairing versus replacing in Headington Quarry
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
