Common questions in Downgate
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Downgate?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Downgate use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
