- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shilbottle
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What we’re called out for in Shilbottle
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips near the sink
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chipped corners

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop

Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a chopping board
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep joints and edges dry
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Shilbottle: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Shilbottle?
We do. Technicians travel to Shilbottle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
