Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Worktop repair in Shelthorpe without replacing anything
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We’re frequently asked to fix knife marks and chipped corners, in granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Do you need worktop repair in Shelthorpe?

The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Knife marks

- Burns from hot pans

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Shelthorpe
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour-matched on site
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
