Shelvin: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you cover Shelvin?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shelvin. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Shelvin?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Common problems we fix in Shelvin
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Knife marks
- Chips near the sink
- Chipped corners
- Gouges in the surface
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shelvin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
