The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Worktop repair in Shippon without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair laminate, quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners and a damaged sink edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Shippon. Prices do not change with location.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Shippon

Signs you need worktop repair in Shippon
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A damaged sink edge
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
