Your questions about worktop repair in Shop

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Shop?

We do. Technicians travel to Shop from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Shop

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

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

  • A chipped edge
  • Scratches and knife marks

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often 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 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.
