For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakwood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Oakwood. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oakwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Oakwood and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Oakwood
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Oakwood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Oakwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
