FAQs for Oxclose
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Oxclose is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Oxclose?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Generally one visit, start to finish

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
