Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common questions in Philleigh

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you work in Philleigh?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Philleigh and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Solid surface

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

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our full price list.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

What we work on

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
