How we handle worktop repair in Shiney Row
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are burns from hot pans and chips caused during installation.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Common questions in Shiney Row
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need worktop repair in Shiney Row?
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

- A chipped quartz edge
- Chips on edges and corners

Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
