About our worktop repair in Earl Shilton
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are chips in quartz or granite and chips near the sink.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Repair or replace in Earl Shilton?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
