Worktop repair in New Mill, Cornwall
We travel to New Mill for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A damaged sink edge
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

New Mill: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Repair or replace in New Mill?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
