Shingay: your questions answered
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.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Shingay?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Repairing versus replacing in Shingay
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Work done at your home or business

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match

- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Details of any past repairs
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shingay, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
What else we do in Shingay

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shingay
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
