About our worktop repair in Flexbury

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for chips near the sink and knife marks, in granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

What affects the price in Flexbury

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What we’re called out for in Flexbury

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Gouges in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
