Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Clean spills right away
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shawclough. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shawclough, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A top that moves on its units
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Shawclough
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Shawclough?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OL12 postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Shawclough
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
