Worktop repair in Shandon, done in place
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s a chipped edge and gouges in the surface, we can help, on granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep joints and edges dry
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shandon
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shandon as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace in Shandon?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why Shandon clients choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking

The process
There’s 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, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
