Worktop repair for Littlemore homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Worktop repair in Littlemore without replacing anything

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. Whether it’s a chipped quartz edge and a heat mark or burn, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Littlemore. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Wood

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Littlemore

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from Littlemore

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work in Littlemore?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Littlemore and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Related advice

What we are called out for in Littlemore

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Common reasons people in Littlemore contact us are:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills right away

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
