How we handle worktop repair in Shirwell
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are burns from hot pans and chipped corners.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shirwell, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about worktop repair in Shirwell
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shirwell.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shirwell. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
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.
For anyone letting property in or around Shirwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in Shirwell
Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Clean spills straight away
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
