DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Discolouration deep in quartz

Shandwick questions
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shandwick. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep a trivet by the hob
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.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
