Your questions about worktop repair in Shepherds' Gate

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Shepherds' Gate?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Do you need worktop repair in Shepherds' Gate?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Shepherds' Gate clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Most clients in Shepherds' Gate get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
