How we handle worktop repair in Shephall
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a chipped quartz edge and chipped corners.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shephall as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Advice
Repair or replace in Shephall?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
If you manage property in Shephall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Clean spills straight away
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Shephall questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
