About our worktop repair in Shelton
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped edge and chips in quartz or granite.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Shelton. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz

Repairing versus replacing in Shelton
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
