Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Worktop repair in Shadwell, done in place
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We are often asked to fix damage from fitting or building work and dents and gouges, across granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- The area around the damage is protected.

Common questions in Shadwell
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Shadwell?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shadwell and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Do you need worktop repair in Shadwell?
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Knife marks
- A chipped quartz edge
- Damage from fitting or building work
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
