DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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 tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Nettlebed?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

FAQs for Nettlebed

Are there extra charges for Nettlebed?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Nettlebed. Prices don’t change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work in Nettlebed?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Nettlebed and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

If you are in Nettlebed and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
