Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

What affects the price in Iffley

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Iffley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Iffley questions

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A photo lets us check.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you cover Iffley?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Iffley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Iffley

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

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

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace in Iffley?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
