Worktop repair in Helstone, done in place
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair quartz, granite & marble and solid wood, and people most often call us about a damaged sink edge and a chipped edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Helstone
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole worktop
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
When to call us in Helstone

- Gouges in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
FAQs for Helstone
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
The process
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 what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
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 you will get a fixed figure back.

Other services in Helstone
Landlords, agents and businesses in Helstone
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Helstone as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
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. Repairing it early stops that.
