The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Shillingford Abbot: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Shillingford Abbot.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What affects the price in Shillingford Abbot
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Shillingford Abbot, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep a trivet by the hob
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.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Repairing versus replacing in Shillingford Abbot
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
