Worktop repair for Shaw homes

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

About our worktop repair in Shaw

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s damage from fitting or building work and damage to a stone worktop, we can generally put it right, on solid wood, quartz and laminate alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shaw as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Shaw questions

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Shaw

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
