What affects the price in Oak Tree

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oak Tree. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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.

Landlord and trade work in Oak Tree

If you manage property in Oak Tree, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Oak Tree

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you come to Oak Tree?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Oak Tree and the rest of Darlington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Oak Tree

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
