About our worktop repair in Herodsfoot

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and a heat mark or burn, we can normally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Herodsfoot and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Herodsfoot

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped edge
  • Burns from hot pans

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about worktop repair in Herodsfoot

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Herodsfoot and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
