Shotley: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Are there extra charges for Shotley?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How we handle worktop repair in Shotley
We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you are dealing with scratches and knife marks and scorch marks from pans, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Shotley
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 normally the cheaper route.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
