Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Oaklands. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Oaklands: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What affects the price in Oaklands
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
