How we handle worktop repair in Shotley Gate
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are burns from hot pans and damage around the sink cut-out.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Shotley Gate questions
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Shotley Gate and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Shotley Gate?
We do. We send a technician to Shotley Gate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Related advice
What affects the price in Shotley Gate
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
