Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, 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.

Common problems we fix in Shieldfield

Edges and corners chip most often, generally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Knife marks
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped quartz edge

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Shieldfield: your questions answered

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work in Shieldfield?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Shieldfield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Repairing versus replacing in Shieldfield

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
