DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Shipton Green
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Dents and gouges
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chips caused during installation
- A damaged sink edge
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep wood oiled
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
