How we handle worktop repair in Shepley
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are scorch marks from pans and chips near the sink.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 often lifts.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Honest limits

- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Materials we work on in Shepley
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Questions from Shepley
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
