How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Worktop repair in Shimpling Street, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you are dealing with chipped corners and damage to a stone worktop, we can normally put it right, on quartz, granite & marble and laminate alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a chopping board
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Shimpling Street questions
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
