Worktop repair in Shacklewell, done in place
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We are often asked to fix a dent from a dropped pan and a chipped quartz edge, in solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
