Shiskine: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Shiskine?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Landlord and trade work in Shiskine

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Shiskine

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shiskine. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shiskine. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price.
