Worktop repair at your home in Shaw

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped corners and scratches and knife marks, in laminate, granite & marble and solid wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Shaw, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Shaw

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Shaw?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Shaw and the rest of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price
