How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shelley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Shelley: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Shelley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shelley. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shelley.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Common problems we fix in Shelley
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Knife marks
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips in quartz or granite
- A heat mark or burn
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
