Your questions about worktop repair in Pool
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Pool and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Pool
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
