What affects the price in Plaish
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Plaish get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Worktop repair at your home in Plaish
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We work on solid wood, quartz and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are chips in quartz or granite and damage around the sink cut-out.

Related advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use a chopping board
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Plaish: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Plaish?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Plaish from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Do you cover the entire of Isle of Wight?
The whole UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
