How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz, and people most often call us about a chipped edge and gouges in the surface.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Oakley. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Oakley

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Oakley

For anyone letting property in or around Oakley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
