Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shelf. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole worktop
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
