Do you need worktop repair in Howe Hill?

- Knife marks

- Burns from hot pans

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- 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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Howe Hill questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
