Worktop repair for Shelton homes

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble

About our worktop repair in Shelton

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. We are often asked to fix damage around the sink cut-out and chips in quartz or granite, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shelton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need worktop repair in Shelton?

Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chipped edge
  • Knife marks
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Shelton

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How much does worktop repair cost in Shelton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
