Worktop repair for Ponsanooth homes

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

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.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Worktop repair in Ponsanooth, done in place

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and a heat mark or burn, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ponsanooth as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Solid surface

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

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Ponsanooth

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ponsanooth. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Ponsanooth?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
