Worktop repair at your home in High Shincliffe
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s damage to a stone worktop and scratches and knife marks, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Questions from High Shincliffe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually. A photo lets us check.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Common problems we fix in High Shincliffe
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A damaged sink edge
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
