How we handle worktop repair in Gweek
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We are often asked to fix knife marks and a heat mark or burn, across solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Gweek: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK, so Gweek is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Gweek?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TR12 postcode.
Do you come to Gweek?
We do. We send a technician to Gweek for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Signs you need worktop repair in Gweek
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 more slowly, from knives and grit.
Look out for these signs:
- Knife marks
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Scorch marks from pans
- A chipped quartz edge
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
