How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
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 generally the cheaper route.

What else we do in Carnkie
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carnkie. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Carnkie and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
FAQs for Carnkie
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Carnkie is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carnkie
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
