Worktop repair in Shawford without replacing anything

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a stone worktop and a chipped edge.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about worktop repair in Shawford

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you work in Shawford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shawford. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Shawford?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page.

What we’re called out for in Shawford

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Look out for these signs:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Shawford

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
