The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shotgate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Shotgate, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
