About our worktop repair in Oakmere
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most often call us about chipped corners and damage from fitting or building work.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Oakmere: your questions answered
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Oakmere?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Oakmere and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Oakmere. Prices don’t change with location.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakmere
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean spills immediately
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Oakmere. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
When to call us in Oakmere
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Gouges in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Chipped corners
