DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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
What affects the price in Shevington
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wigan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
