Worktop repair near Shotwick

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Worktop repair at your home in Shotwick

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during installation and knife marks.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace in Shotwick?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Shotwick questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover the entire of Cheshire West and Chester?

We cover the entire UK, including Shotwick and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cheshire West and Chester.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
