Worktop repair in Shalstone, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with damage to a stone worktop and chips near the sink, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Materials we work on in Shalstone

  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Shalstone: your questions answered

Do you come to Shalstone?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shalstone. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Common problems we fix in Shalstone

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Knife marks
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage from fitting or building work

  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
