Questions from Oxton
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What else we do in Oxton
Repairing versus replacing in Oxton
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work

When to call us in Oxton
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches and knife marks
- A heat mark or burn
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips on edges and corners
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material
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
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Oxton
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
