Worktop repair in Pillaton

Worktop repair in Pillaton without replacing anything

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include burns from hot pans and a damaged sink edge, across solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

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

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Your questions about worktop repair in Pillaton

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
