Advice
How we handle worktop repair in Shalmsford Street
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We’re frequently asked to fix chips near the sink and chipped corners, on laminate, solid wood and quartz.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Shalmsford Street
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Water-swollen laminate
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
