Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
How we handle worktop repair in Shangton
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix damage to a stone worktop and a dent from a dropped pan, in solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Shangton
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shangton. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shangton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
