What we are called out for in Shieldaig
Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Knife marks
- Burns from hot pans
- Dents and gouges
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Shieldaig. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Shieldaig: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Shieldaig?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon 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.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
