What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills right away
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Signs you need worktop repair in Oakwood
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A damaged sink edge
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chipped corners
- Chips caused during installation

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derby and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Questions from Oakwood
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Oakwood?
We do. We send a technician to Oakwood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Oakwood included. Travel is included in the price.
Repairing versus replacing in Oakwood
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
