Questions from Oldbury-on-the-Hill
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What we are called out for in Oldbury-on-the-Hill
Most worktop damage takes a second: 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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Gouges in the surface
- A heat mark or burn
- Chips in quartz or granite
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
What affects the price in Oldbury-on-the-Hill
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Oldbury-on-the-Hill. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
