Worktop repair in Perran Downs

Worktop repair in Perran Downs without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with a heat mark or burn and dents and gouges, we can usually put it right, on solid wood, granite & marble and quartz alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common problems we fix in Perran Downs

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

FAQs for Perran Downs

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it messy?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Perran Downs

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
