DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep joints and edges dry
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oldfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
