Worktop repair across Plymouth: what to expect

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

What it costs in Plymouth

Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Plymouth

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Plymouth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Plymouth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place.

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again

Common problems we fix in Plymouth

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Knife marks
