About our worktop repair in Shenington
We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are chips in quartz or granite and chips near the sink.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Shenington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills right away
- Keep joints and edges dry
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, 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.
When to call us in Shenington
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips caused during installation
- Chips near the sink
- Gouges in the surface
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Covering Shenington
Shenington is about 5 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. We visit customers in Shenington and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Shenington is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Shenington to Birmingham (about 32 miles away).
All of OX15 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. From Rattlecombe Road, The Level and Mill Lane or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. We also cover the places around Shenington: Alkerton (1 mile east), Balscote (1 mile south-east), Epwell (2 miles south-west), Shutford (2 miles south-east) and Swalcliffe (3 miles south). Further out, we also cover Banbury (5 miles east), Chipping Norton (10 miles south), Neithrop (4 miles east), Grimsbury (6 miles east), Ruscote (4 miles east) and Bloxham (6 miles south-east).

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Shenington
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
