About our worktop repair in Old Shotton
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We’re often asked to fix chipped corners and damage around the sink cut-out, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
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?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Old Shotton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Old Shotton
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Old Shotton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Landlord and trade work in Old Shotton
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
