Worktop repair in Stanton St John without replacing anything

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips near the sink and dents and gouges, in solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What affects the price in Stanton St John

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stanton St John. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stanton St John. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Questions from Stanton St John

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you cover Stanton St John?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stanton St John and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
