Worktop repair in Shudy Camps

Worktop repair in Shudy Camps without replacing anything

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about a heat mark or burn and chips in quartz or granite.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Shudy Camps

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you work in Shudy Camps?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shudy Camps and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shudy Camps.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Shudy Camps

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A chipped edge
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scratches and knife marks

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
