How we handle worktop repair in Shotley Grove
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are knife marks and chips on edges and corners.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Shotley Grove questions
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What affects the price in Shotley Grove
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shotley Grove. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job.

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When to call us in Shotley Grove
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Look out for these signs:
- A damaged sink edge
- Chipped corners
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A chipped quartz edge
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
