Repair or replace in Marshgate?

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 normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Marshgate questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

Everywhere in the UK, Marshgate included. Travel is included in the price.

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Gouges in the surface

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Landlord and trade work in Marshgate

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marshgate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
