Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

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

Common problems we fix in Marston

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Knife marks
  • Chipped corners

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Marston

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Marston

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Marston?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX3 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
