Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shalden Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

Worktop repair in Shalden Green without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include chips in quartz or granite and a damaged sink edge, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Signs you need worktop repair in Shalden Green

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped quartz edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
