Worktop repair in Charlestown, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips near the sink and a heat mark or burn.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Charlestown and across Cornwall.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlestown
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Questions from Charlestown
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
