Worktop repair near Newlyn

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Worktop repair at your home in Newlyn

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Typical jobs include scratches and knife marks and burns from hot pans, on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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 always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Newlyn

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
