Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Shimpling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Shimpling questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shimpling. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
