Worktop repair in Shortlanesend without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We’re often asked to fix gouges in the surface and chipped corners, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shortlanesend. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Shortlanesend and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What else we do in Shortlanesend
Shortlanesend: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover Shortlanesend?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shortlanesend for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Repair or replace in Shortlanesend?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
