How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Maker. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Maker, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Worktop repair in Maker without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and scorch marks from pans, we can help, on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for 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.

FAQs for Maker
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Maker included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Landlord and trade work in Maker
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Clean spills right away
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Dry around the sink and joints
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
