Book worktop repair in New Polzeath

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL27 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need worktop repair in New Polzeath?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chipped corners
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Gouges in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

Common questions in New Polzeath

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
