About our worktop repair in Daddry Shield
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners and scorch marks from pans.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Daddry Shield
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

- Quartz

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What affects the price in Daddry Shield
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
