Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tibshelf. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Tibshelf get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tibshelf
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tibshelf as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Tibshelf, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Tibshelf questions
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Across the UK, so Tibshelf is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
