Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Clean spills straight away
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit

- Let us know which floor the room is on

Shiphay: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
