Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Plumgarths

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Plumgarths

Edges and corners chip most frequently, generally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A chipped edge
  • Chips caused during installation

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Plumgarths. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Plumgarths

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Plumgarths?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Plumgarths for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
