Worktop repair in Hook Norton without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and cuts and scratches in the surface, in solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Hook Norton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
What we’re called out for in Hook Norton
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips caused during installation
- A damaged sink edge
- Scorch marks from pans
- Knife marks

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
