About our worktop repair in Oakley

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We’re often asked to fix gouges in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out, on granite & marble, solid wood and quartz.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  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. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakley

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped quartz edge

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

  • Details of any past repairs

Oakley: your questions answered

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work in Oakley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Oakley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are there extra charges for Oakley?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
