Trusted worktop repair in Ernesettle

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

How we handle worktop repair in Ernesettle

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and a damaged sink edge, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Ernesettle

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ernesettle. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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 water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Ernesettle questions

What does worktop repair cost?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Are there extra charges for Ernesettle?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?

We cover the whole UK, including Ernesettle and the rest of Plymouth. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
