Trusted worktop repair in Drift

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Drift

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Drift, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in Drift

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that’s where cracks frequently begin.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips near the sink
  • Dents and gouges
  • Scratches and knife marks

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Drift

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

Landlord and trade work in Drift

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
