Worktop repair at your home in Oare

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Whether it’s cuts and scratches in the surface and burns from hot pans, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Oare. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Oare

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Knife marks
  • Burns from hot pans

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
