How we handle worktop repair in Ore

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about a heat mark or burn and chipped corners.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Ore: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Ore?

We do. We send a technician to Ore for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

The material
Access to the area
How hard the colour is to match
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

A wider photo showing the whole worktop
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Water-swollen laminate
A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

Solid surface (such as Corian)
Quartz
Granite & marble
Solid wood
Laminate

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Do not leave spills to soak in
Watch the edges with heavy pans
Keep joints and edges dry

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Ore

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
