Worktop repair for Shorthampton homes

Worktop repair at your home in Shorthampton

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a chipped edge and dents and gouges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

What we work on

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

Questions from Shorthampton

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
