Worktop repair in Bishop's Quay, done in place
We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most often call us about a heat mark or burn and a damaged sink edge.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Re-oil timber worktops
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Bishop's Quay: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK, so Bishop's Quay is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Bishop's Quay, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
