Worktop repair for Wantage homes

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage to a stone worktop, we can typically put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Wantage

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. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wantage

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wantage as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Questions from Wantage

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What we’re called out for in Wantage

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chipped corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wantage. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
