About our worktop repair in Shortfield Common
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We’re often asked to fix damage to a stone worktop and gouges in the surface, in quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shortfield Common as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
FAQs for Shortfield Common
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Signs you need worktop repair in Shortfield Common
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches and knife marks
- A chipped quartz edge
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Chips near the sink
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
