About our worktop repair in Shimpling
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s damage to a stone worktop and chips on edges and corners, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shimpling
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shimpling use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate

- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

FAQs for Shimpling
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Shimpling?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Prices and what affects them

- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
