Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
About our worktop repair in Shorne Ridgeway
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for a chipped quartz edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shorne Ridgeway as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area

- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Shorne Ridgeway and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Shorne Ridgeway: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
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.

When to call us in Shorne Ridgeway
Most chips are on edges and corners, typically from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A damaged sink edge
- Chipped corners
- Scratches and knife marks
- A heat mark or burn
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
