Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not let water sit on joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Repair or replace in Shipley?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip.

- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Shipley and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
