Worktop repair in Shellow Bowells, done in place
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new kitchen and scratches and knife marks, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire worktop
Most customers in Shellow Bowells get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Shellow Bowells
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that’s where cracks often begin.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during installation
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips near the sink
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
