About our worktop repair in Penelewey

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We’re often asked to fix chips in quartz or granite and a heat mark or burn, on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Penelewey

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

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

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills straight away

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penelewey. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Common questions in Penelewey

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on
