Oare questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Oare?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ME13 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Across the UK, so Oare is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Oare. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
