Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not let water sit on joints
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Your questions about worktop repair in Shaftenhoe End
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

- Scorch marks from pans

Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
