Repair or replace in Shittlehope?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shittlehope. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Shittlehope
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Do you need worktop repair in Shittlehope?
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chips near the sink

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Clean spills right away
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
