Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What affects the price in Whitchurch-on-Thames

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whitchurch-on-Thames. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about worktop repair in Whitchurch-on-Thames

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Whitchurch-on-Thames?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG8 postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
