Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Shelley questions
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Shelley?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
What affects the price in Shelley
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean spills right away
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep wood oiled
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
