How we handle worktop repair in Shobrooke
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and cuts and scratches in the surface, on granite & marble, laminate and quartz.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Shobrooke: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Devon.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Shobrooke
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a chopping board
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
