How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How we handle worktop repair in Ovenden Wood

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for cuts and scratches in the surface and scorch marks from pans, on granite & marble, laminate and quartz.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills right away
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ovenden Wood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Honest limits

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

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
