Advice
Worktop repair in Shepton Mallet without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our repair technicians work on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are scorch marks from pans and a chipped edge.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Shepton Mallet get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use a chopping board
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
