About our worktop repair in Callington
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during installation and chips in quartz or granite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Callington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Callington questions
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work in Callington?
We do. We send a technician to Callington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
