Worktop repair in Port Isaac, done in place

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are scratches and knife marks and damage from fitting or building work.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Port Isaac get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Port Isaac

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about worktop repair in Port Isaac

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Port Isaac is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. 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.
