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

South Hinksey questions
Can you fix worktops at a school or business in South Hinksey?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Send pictures and details of the building.
Do you come out to small places like South Hinksey?
We do: small places like South Hinksey are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Repairing versus replacing in South Hinksey
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. In an older home in a village like South Hinksey, replacing a worktop can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
