Worktop repair in Oldham without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are scratches and knife marks and chips in quartz or granite.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham.
What affects the price in Oldham
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Oldham. The price depends on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Oldham
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean spills straight away
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use a chopping board
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
