About our worktop repair in Shillingstone
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fitting or building work and dents and gouges.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Shillingstone, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- A chipped edge

- A damaged sink edge
Questions to ask before booking

Shillingstone questions
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot 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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills straight away
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
