Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shadwell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace in Shadwell?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shadwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Solid wood
- Laminate

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
