About our worktop repair in Oldford
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include chipped corners and knife marks, in laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Oldford: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Oldford.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
