About our worktop repair in Shotover Hill

We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and people most often call us about chips near the sink and chipped corners.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need worktop repair in Shotover Hill

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Common reasons people in Shotover Hill contact us include:

  • Knife marks
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Gouges in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills right away
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
