DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Islip. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about worktop repair in Islip

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

  • Chipped corners
  • Dents and gouges
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Burns from hot pans

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
