DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

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.

Granite and stone

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

When to call us in Oakley

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Dents and gouges
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Knife marks

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Oakley

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Oakley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Oakley questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How much does worktop repair cost in Oakley?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
