Need worktop repair in Shipton Solars?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Worktop repair in Shipton Solars, done in place

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. If you’re dealing with chips on edges and corners and knife marks, we can help, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about worktop repair in Shipton Solars

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL54 postcode.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Do you need worktop repair in Shipton Solars?

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Common reasons people in Shipton Solars contact us are:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips near the sink
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Dents and gouges

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
