Worktop repair in Shute without replacing anything
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. If you have damage to a stone worktop and a damaged sink edge, we can help, whatever the material.
Somewhere like Shute, cottage kitchens frequently have wood worktops or ceramic sinks, both of which repair well. We sand and refinish wood and fill and match ceramic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Older homes around Shute may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a chopping board
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
