Worktop repair for Oakshott homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Worktop repair in Oakshott without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. If you’re dealing with damage around the sink cut-out and chipped corners, we can help, on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Oakshott and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Oakshott, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Questions from Oakshott

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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