About our worktop repair in Porkellis

Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Porkellis. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, 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.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Porkellis get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
When to call us in Porkellis
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chipped corners
- Burns from hot pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
