About our worktop repair in Shop Corner
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include knife marks and scorch marks from pans, in solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep joints and edges dry
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shop Corner
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shop Corner as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shop Corner. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
