Worktop repair in Church Cove

Worktop repair in Church Cove without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix scorch marks from pans and chips on edges and corners, across quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Do you need worktop repair in Church Cove?

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A damaged sink edge

Choosing a repair company

Church Cove: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you work in Church Cove?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Church Cove and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Do the materials smell?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
