Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills straight away
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about worktop repair in Shawfair
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Shawfair?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Shawfair. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shawfair. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shawfair, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
