Worktop repair in Penhale without replacing anything
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are gouges in the surface and a heat mark or burn.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Penhale: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Penhale?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Penhale for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

- Gouges in the surface
- A heat mark or burn

- Chips caused during installation
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
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 you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
