Shirkoak: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN26 postcode.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. 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 there are no surprises on the day.
