Worktop repair at your home in Albaston
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are scorch marks from pans and a dent from a dropped pan.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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.

Albaston questions
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL18 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Albaston and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean spills right away
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
