What affects the price in Charlestown

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Worktop repair in Charlestown, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We’re frequently asked to fix damage around the sink cut-out and chips on edges and corners, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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 chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Questions from Charlestown

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Charlestown?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlestown

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlestown use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 often lifts.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
