Trusted worktop repair in Shelfanger

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Shelfanger: your questions answered

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Wood

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

What affects the price in Shelfanger

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Shelfanger, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

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