Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
The process
You do not need to empty 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’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Shortlands questions
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shortlands as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Typically one visit, start to finish
