About our worktop repair in Shackerstone

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Our technicians work on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about scorch marks from pans and a chipped edge.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shackerstone, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need worktop repair in Shackerstone?

Most chips are on edges and corners, typically from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A chipped edge
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Scratches and knife marks

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairing versus replacing in Shackerstone

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shackerstone

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Shackerstone: your questions answered

Do you come to Shackerstone?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shackerstone and the rest of Leicestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
