Worktop repair in Shalden without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Shalden questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Shalden, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shalden as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Shalden, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Shalden customers choose us
- No need to remove anything

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
