Worktop repair at your home in Shillington
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and gouges in the surface.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Shillington questions
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are there extra charges for Shillington?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate

- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.

- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
