FAQs for Sheldwich Lees
How soon can you come?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sheldwich Lees
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sheldwich Lees. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole worktop
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
