Need worktop repair in Fivelanes?

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Fivelanes, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Worktop repair in Fivelanes, done in place

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. Our technicians work on laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and a chipped quartz edge.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Fivelanes

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Do you work in Fivelanes?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fivelanes for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Fivelanes

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Dents and gouges

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills immediately

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
