What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Common questions in Oakford

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather 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.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

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

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Oakford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Do you need worktop repair in Oakford?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A heat mark or burn

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
