Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
How we handle worktop repair in Oakfordbridge
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include burns from hot pans and chips near the sink, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
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 typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
What else we do in Oakfordbridge
Oakfordbridge: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
