About our worktop repair in Penwithick

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are damage around the sink cut-out and a chipped quartz edge.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Solid surface

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Penwithick. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Penwithick, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
