Wadshelf questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S42 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How we handle worktop repair in Wadshelf
We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on solid wood, quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are chips near the sink and a chipped quartz edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wadshelf and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Wadshelf
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Clean spills straight away
- Use a chopping board
- Do not let water sit on joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

- Unusual colours or finishes

- The type of damage
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
