Worktop repair at your home in Carkeel

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and chips on edges and corners, in quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Carkeel, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate

Carkeel questions

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We cover the entire UK, including Carkeel and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we’re called out for in Carkeel

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chipped corners
  • Knife marks

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
