About our worktop repair in Plymouth
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage around the sink cut-out.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.
What else we do in Plymouth
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Common problems we fix in Plymouth
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chipped corners
- Scorch marks from pans
- A damaged sink edge
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
What affects the price in Plymouth
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Plymouth. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Plymouth
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How much does worktop repair cost in Plymouth?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Repair or replace in Plymouth?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
